Scholarship Supplement Initiative
The Ashinaga USA Scholarship Supplement Initiative aims to fundraise for incidental expenses at university as well as to offset part of tuition cost. Ashinaga USA Scholars have received scholarships that cover an average of 83% of direct costs.
Our Ashinaga USA Scholars have attended:
Bucknell University; College for Creative Studies; DePauw University; Duke University; Hobart and Wiliam Smith Colleges; Lafayette College; Northwestern University; University of Notre Dame; Princeton University; St. Olaf College; SUNY Plattsburgh; Trinity College; Tufts University; Union College; University of Rochester; University of Miami; University of Richmond; Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Incidental expenses (such as winter clothes, dorm supplies, books, personal expenses) total on average $3,000 per year per student. Some universities have accepted our Ashinaga USA Scholars with full scholarships that include flights, tuition, room, board, laptop, and personal expenses while other universities require an Additional Contribution of $10,000-15,000 per year. The Additional Contribution provided by Ashinaga USA has been approximately 17% of the amount of scholarships received and has averaged $10,043 per student.
The USA Plus Initiative represents the extension of our mission to support additional brilliant students from our partner high schools on the continent.
