In the past year, ASSIST conducted competitions in 14 countries on behalf of member schools. Our colleagues and representatives in those countries reviewed the credentials of more than 1,500 applicants. Of those candidates, ASSIST staff and Board members traveled to interview 573 finalists. For the 2007/08 academic year, 133 ASSIST students from 15 countries are enrolled at 84 NAIS schools (National Association of Independent Schools). These young people are among the best students in their respective countries, and they are now making substantial contributions to the lives of their campus communities. In the years ahead, they will share their American experience with their friends and family at home, helping to bridge the gaps among cultures and to foster a more peaceful world. As with the classes that preceded them, ASSIST expects that three quarters of these students will do honors or high honors work in their schools. The remaining students will do honors work in most classes. They will all undertake challenging curricula and be models of intellectual interest and hard work. Outside of the classroom, ASSIST students are eager to engage in athletics, the arts, community service, clubs and other activities. Our students are selected with an eye toward those who want to share themselves while learning about American culture. They leave an impressive legacy of accomplishment, as well as their personal impact on peers, teachers and host families. International students interested in applying for scholarships to study at independent schools in the United States should submit applications through the ASSIST staff or representative in the country where they reside.
