Help Send USAP Zimbabwean Students to College

We are very excited with the admissions and scholarships that this year's USAP Cohort have earned.  At the present time we have 34 USAP students who will be starting at colleges and universities outside of Zimbabwe in Canada, Ghana, Scotland, and the United States of America.   They will be studying at universities which include:  Amherst, Berea, Brown, Bryn Mawr, Carleton, College of Wooster, Davidson, Grinnell, Harvard, Kalamazoo, Northwestern, Penn State, Smith, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, the University of Rochester, Vanderbilt and Warren Wilson.   Two students will go to study at Brescia University College and the University of Toronto in Canada.  Six students are off to Ashesi University in Ghana and one to the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.  We are still waiting to hear for admission decisions for Africa Leadership University in Rwanda and for January for MasterCard Scholarships at University of Pretoria and University of Cape Town.  

This 2017-18 cohort of students have been busy in the past few months preparing for their next chapter - they have been reading, writing, learning code, doing internships, working at paid jobs, and volunteering in the community.   They also have started to be busy with the logistics of pre-departure preparation - immunizations, visa applications, medical exams, and arranging flights.  We are thankful to your support that is allowing all of this to happen - without the USAP Access Fund that we have raised through GlobalGiving, we would not be able to cover these costs which are far beyond the financial reach of USAP families.

We are very proud of all of our students, their hard work and their achievements, and smile thinking of the power of their collective education to bring positive change.  The future is bright!  #usaprocks
