Named for our visionary founder, Paul “Sandy” Sanderson Jr., the ASSIST Sanderson Scholarship awards:

• Full tuition and room and board at a private American boarding school
  OR
• Full tuition at a private day school and housing with an American volunteer host family

The ASSIST Program Fee for Sanderson Scholarships for the '25-'26 school year will vary by country. Check your country's page for the fee in your country. Please note that there is some financial aid available for families unable to fund the program fee.

Families are also responsible for:

• round-trip travel to the U.S. and to ASSIST Orientation
• health and accident insurance
• visa application fees
• a medical examination and school-required vaccinations
• spending money for personal expenses
• any activity fees and expenses (such as books and supplies) charged by the school.

ASSIST understands that even with a this scholarship, these extra out of pocket costs can be challenging. For families who demonstrate financial need, ASSIST can often help with these costs via generous donors who believe in our mission.
