Our Mission Strengthen the bond between the ISAE alumni in the USA and the ISAE students

Friends of ISAE Inc was created in December 2010 to support the activities of the Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace (ISAE), a French institution dedicated to higher education and research in the field of aerospace.

ISAE trains engineers that are highly qualified in the aerospace sectors and related fields, and conducts scientific research and technological development work. Friends of ISAE will raise funds and sponsor educational and research programs in these areas.
Such programs may include the funding of:
- Capital, research or pedagogical projects
- Recruitment of students, faculty and researchers
- Scholarships

Friends of ISAE was incorporated in Delaware in December 2010
In May 2011, the IRS determined that Friends of ISAE was exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
