For the 14th year in a row the Kazickas Family Foundation together with ASSIST invite 10th grade students from Lithuania to submit applications for a chance to receive one-year scholarships in American independent secondary schools. Foundation provides three scholarships, while additional three are offered by ASSIST, its supporters and ASSIST Alumni. At least six students will receive an opportunity to study for one year (junior year) at the American Private Schools. Together with the Davis Foundation scholarships currently there are seven Lithuanian students studying at such schools. Students study in the States for 10 months and then return to their home countries – scholarships are not renewable. Students must remain in the U.S. for the full ten months, spending vacations and holidays with their American host families, and then must return to their home countries following their ASSIST year to complete their native high schools.

Application Process, Overview and Document Checklist are available at  http://www.assist-inc.org/lithuania.

Applications are due November 27.

ASSIST 2018-2019 scholarship is a unique opportunity to spend a productive, challenging and eye-opening school year away from home. American Independent Schools, also called “private” or “prep” schools, are a group of America’s finest and most rigorous high schools. They provide:

- Small, seminar-style classrooms, usually under 15 students.

- Outstanding, well-educated faculty devoted to the growth of each student.

- Strong extracurricular programs in music, the fine and performing arts, sports, debate, community service – and more.

- State-of-the art facilities and beautiful campuses.

True financial cost for a year at such school exceedes above and beyond a fee students' families need to pay.
