Scholarship Details:
We search and screen for potential candidates who are orphaned or bereaved students with academic potential but cannot afford to apply to university. We provide them with a concentrated study camp for six months at Ashinaga’s facility, Kokorojuku, in Uganda and Senegal, where they are given dedicated support and assistance with their study of various subjects and languages, as they prepare to apply to highly ranked universities around the world. We also provide them with a full scholarship and living expenses for four years during their studies abroad.
Also, We expect to see these young, educated people go back to their own countries and establish democratic and fulfilled societies, bringing people a higher national income and high-quality education. This movement will eventually contribute to the general wellbeing of Sub-Saharan countries by helping to break the poverty cycle, even though the effects will not be immediate, as they are when food or equipment is donated.
