ASSIST became active in Moldova to help young Moldovan students currently in the 10th grade who would like to spend one year as exchange students in the United States as 11th graders.
Our work in Moldova began in the 2001/02 academic year. Our first Moldovan scholars distinguished themselves in their American independent schools, and ultimately 54 Moldovan students have studied in the States under our auspices. It is through the leadership of our partner, the National High School Debate League, that this scholarship competition is made possible.
Application Process for 2012/13 Scholarships
All initial applications for ASSIST scholarships for Moldovan students are received through our partner, NHSDL. Scholarships are also offered to boarding schools in the UK through our colleagues of the Headmasters and Headmistresses Conference (HMC).
The application deadline in Moldova for the 2012/13 academic year is Friday, November 11, 2011. For information please contact our colleague at NHSDL, Ms. Iulia Moldovan, at imoldovan@debate.moldnet.md.
