FABSIT scholarships, network services, and grant resources support the students and graduates of the American Board Schools in Turkey: American Collegiate Institute, İzmir; Tarsus American College, Tarsus; Üsküdar American Academy, İstanbul; and the patients and staff of SEV American Hospital, Gaziantep.

Their success is our mission.

“FABSIT is our U.S. Friends organization. It is the catalyst for U.S.- based fundraising and networking, and the bridge that keeps graduates and former teachers in North America connected with each other and their schools. Our schools and hospital need and value FABSIT’s ongoing support.”

Whitman Shepard,
Secondary Education Coordinator for SEV (Saglik ve Egitim Vakfi - Health and Education Foundation)

Reaching Out, Giving Back, Making a Difference.

Our Community Is Growing...

Monday, April 9 in New York City FABSIT & FORUM Brought Together ACI, TAC, UAA, TAO and Other Turkish-American Business Professionals, Alumni and Friends at the Garden at Pera SoHo.

This outdoor event took place at the fabulous garden of the newly opened Pera SoHo. It was a great social and networking opportunity for Turkish-American business professionals, young professionals and college students. We also welcomed to New York ACI Lise Dean, Didem Erpulat, ACI Foreign University Counselor, Victoria Lidzbarski, and nine college-bound students who were in New York and Boston for college visits.

We thank VieVite for its donation of the delicious Cotes De Provence Rose, Pera Soho for providing this lovely outdoor venue, and the Turkish Business FORUM for joining forces with us.

The FABSIT Alumni Association is looking forward to many such future collaborations to support our alums and give back to our schools. We hope you'll join us!

Alumni Energy

FABSIT has long been trying to bring young alums in the U.S. from the ‘90’s and the 2000’s under its umbrella. Now, under the leadership of Hakan Ozakbaş (ACI ‘96) FABSIT has become “The Official U.S. Alumni Portal for ACI, TAC, and ÜAA” with a new facebook fanpage through which these U.S. alums and others can connect. Hakan and his team, FABSIT Board member Selim Sulos (ACI ’02) and Deniz Ömürgönülşen (ACI ‘02), believe that the strength of the U.S. base American Board school alumni body will help them reach 500 "likes" to this page by the end of 2012.
