Yleiskatsaus hakuprosessiin
Applying for an ASSIST Scholarship is a multi-step process. For most applicants, all application materials are due 1. joulukuuta, with the Duolingo English Test due December 15 if required.
Applicants from Germany and Switzerland follow a different application timeline. Please see below and/or visit the Germany/Switzerland page for specific deadlines and instructions.
Step 1: Complete Your Application
Kirjaudu sisään hakuportaali to complete your ASSIST application, which includes:
- ASSIST online application form, including contact information, biographical details, and short-answer essay questions. The application should be completed by the student in their own words. Parents or guardians may oversee their child's application and must sign it before submission.
- Academic transcripts from the last full school year and a partial transcript from the current academic year, if available. Copies are sufficient during the application process. Scholarship recipients who enroll in the program will later be asked to provide official transcripts. A translation is appreciated but not required. School transcripts in their original language suffice.
- Opettajan suositukset from an English teacher, a Math teacher, and one additional teacher or school administrator.
- Parent Statement, which asks a parent or guardian to answer a question about the applicant.
- Hakijan valokuvat
- A short, informal personal introduction video

Step 2: Complete the Duolingo English Test, if Required

Duolingo deadline for Germany and Switzerland: December 1

Vaihe 3: Haastattelu
Selected candidates will be invited to interview with ASSIST. Interviews help us get to know candidates beyond their written applications and learn more about their interests, character, experiences, and readiness for an ASSIST year.
Most interviews are held in December and January. Depending on the applicant's country, interviews may take place in person or virtually.
Please visit your country's ASSIST page for specific information about interview dates and locations.
Step 4: Scholarship Selection and Notification
Following the application and interview process, ASSIST selects its scholarship recipients.
Candidates are generally notified of their application status in January and February. Students who are not initially offered a scholarship may be placed on a waiting list. Our waiting list closes in April.
Vaihe 5: Koulusijoitus
After accepting an ASSIST Scholarship and enrolling in the program, Scholars are matched by ASSIST with one of our American member schools.
Newly enrolled ASSIST Scholars are generally notified of their school placements in March and April.
