The Education Trust was created within the American for Higher
Education to work toward simultaneous reform of the educational
system on all levels, from kindergarten through postsecondary.
Through its various initiatives, the Trust aims to strengthen the
connections between K-12 and higher education at the local, state,
and national levels and to increase significantly the number of poor
and minority students in the nation's urban communities who
successfully complete four years of higher education. Current goals
include: connecting reform-minded educators with each other and
with education activists from business and community groups;
focusing higher education institutions on needed changes in the way
they do business in order to support K-12 reform and improve student
outcomes at the postsecondary level; improving government policy to
provide support for collaborative systems reform.

The American Council of Learned Societies is a private organization that represents humanities scholarship in the United States,
both domestically and internationally; that specifically represents
over fifty constituent societies; and that seeks and provides
support for research in the humanities. The members of its
constituent societies include historians, literature specialists,
economists, anthropologists-the full range of scholars in the arts,
humanities and social sciences. For seventy-five years ACLS has
supported the best research in the arts, humanities and social
sciences, providing fellowships, organizing conferences,
sponsoring publications. ACLS helped found the National
Endowment for the Humanities. It manages the Fulbright Scholar
program through the Council for International of Scholars,
annually sending about one thousand scholars abroad and bringing
an equal number here. Through the Committee on Scholarly
Communication with China, ACLS has on office in Beijing. ACLS
has equipped a library in Hanoi and trained its librarians and has
recently begun a specialist institution for higher education in Ho Chi
Mihn City. ACLS has been particularly active in Central and
Eastern Europe during the recent transition, adding conferences
and publications on constitutionalism there to its usual provision of
specialty studies and language training in and for the area.
