The Hinrich Foundation supports continuing education and career success for our alumni and scholars through professional development talks, industry roundtables and trade briefings which provide opportunities to interact with senior trade business leaders and policy makers.
TRADE EDUCATION
Alumni
All of our scholars become lifelong members of our diverse community of alumni who are passionate about advancing mutually beneficial and sustainable global trade. Together, they form the Hinrich Foundation Alumni Association (HFAA), where they connect with peers, learn from fellow HFAA members and experts, and take leadership roles in a shifting global trade landscape.
Through scholarships in a variety of sectors, the Hinrich Foundation helps to enable our Global Trade Leaders to contribute to trade across global value chains. Our alumni are leveraging their education to advance their careers, and creating meaningful impact within their companies, communities and countries.
