Paying it forward

Founded in 2023, the SAS & AAA Alumni Association brings together graduates of the School for Advanced Studies (SAS) and the Academy for Advanced Academics (AAA) with a shared commitment to giving back. Our mission is to strengthen connections between alumni and current students by fostering community, mentorship, and opportunity.

We focus our work through four core pillars:

R – Recognition & Reward (Scholarship): Celebrating achievement and expanding access through annual scholarships.
O – Outreach & Operations (Fellowship): Building community through alumni events, programs, and service initiatives.
A – Advisement & Assistance (Mentorship): Offering academic, career, and personal guidance to students and alumni.
R – Resources & Résumé Building (Leadership): Providing workshops, tools, and opportunities for personal growth and professional development.

Since our founding, we have awarded at least two scholarship per campus each year, reinforcing our commitment to supporting the next generation of SAS & AAA scholars.

The SAS & AAA Alumni Association continues to grow in both membership and impact—honoring our shared legacy while investing in a stronger future for all SAS & AAA students and graduates.

Our alumni represent a vibrant network of scholars from across all of our campuses—united by shared values, scholarship, and lifelong connections.

From the classrooms of AAA @ Florida International University (North & South) to SAS Wolfson, SAS West, SAS North, SAS Homestead, and SAS Kendall at Miami Dade College, each campus brings its own legacy, culture, and story to our collective community.

Together, we are one alumni association.

Different Campuses. One Alumni Association.
