FAUSA membership is open to US citizens who have lived overseas, as well as individuals born outside of the United States whose goals are compatible with those of FAUSA.
The goal of FAUSA is to provide an on-going forum for our members in the way of support during repatriation and to help maintain our international ties and friendships, as well as make new friends who have had similar experiences and who speak our "language." Through FAUSA, members and their children are eligible to apply for The FAWCO Foundation Education Awards, and to participate in FAWCO-sponsored activities.
Whether you've just returned from an overseas assignment or been back for several years, there is something for you in FAUSA.
