Scholarship Programs

About this Topic

The Asia Foundation’s scholarship programs are distinguished by the holistic, tailored support provided to girls and young women in secondary school and university. This includes material support to offset the costs of attending school to students and their families, such as tuition, fees, books, uniforms, housing, and transportation assistance. Our programs also provide essential support outside of the classroom. One-on-one mentoring, peer networking, counseling, and academic monitoring helps students thrive in their studies.
