Ashinaga Undergraduate Scholarships for African Orphans
Through the Ashinaga Africa Initiative, the Ashinaga Undergraduate scholarships aim to provide higher education to 20 brilliant students from Sub-Saharan African countries each year some of which are among the poorest in the world. The scholarship award is meant to encourage the students to become leading professionals in their own countries. The organization screens potential high-achieving candidates from orphaned or bereaved backgrounds who cannot afford a university education. Once found, the students are provided with shelter at a concentrated study camp for six months at Ashinagas 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. The organization offers a full scholarship and living expenses for four years during their study abroad.
