Our Work
PREPARATION YEAR
Once accepted to a university, we encourage Ashinaga USA Scholars to start advocating for themselves and build relationships with key university staff before they arrive on campus. They learn to use all resources available to them at Health Centers, Financial Aid Office, Writing Centers, Academic Advising, International Student office, Career Services.
During the Ashinaga Preparation Year, we prepare the US-bound Ashinaga Scholars to apply to U.S. universities and provide them with tools to succeed academically at their specific university.
We create customized curricula for each scholar, in consultation with various hosting universities and based on each scholar’s background. We focus on Math, Writing, and Academic Research by partnering with educational NGOs that offer free online resources such as Steve Menking Tutoring, Pioneer Academics, Horizon Inspires, Khan Academy, Scribbr and IXL.
