Slovak Ambassador Peter Kmec welcomed the five 2017 Friends of Slovakia Slovak Scholars to the Embassy together with program supporters including FOS Chairman Joe Senko and President of The Fund for American Studies Roger Ream. TFAS runs this intensive two-month summer program at George Mason University. The FOS Scholars also have internships with local organizations relevant to their interests. Contributions from individual FOS supporters and from the Slovak-American Foundation and Slovak-American Business and Innovation Council have made the program available to 44 Slovak Scholars thus far.
