Ashinaga USA supports high-achieving, low-income students from sub-Saharan Africa who have lost one or both parents. Our mission focuses on our Scholars' personal, academic and professional development. We strive to instill in them the values of ethical and innovative leadership. We aim to equip them with tools to succeed academically in US universities. We seek to foster their desire to return to sub-Saharan Africa and to make significant contribution to social change and development in their communities across the continent.
