Student Scholarships



We provide vital financial aid to current or aspiring students pursuing higher education with a focus on a career in attractions, nurturing the next generation of talent joining our field.

Professional Development Grants



We empower current professionals employed by FAA member attractions with funding for advanced training, certifications, and specialized programs, ensuring continuous growth and innovation within our teams.

The FASF offers several options for
supporting our mission.
