American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA)
The American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) program provides grants to competitively
selected private, non-profit universities and secondary schools, libraries, and
medical facilities abroad to:
- Provide foreign nationals the benefits of American ideas and practices in
education and medicine;
- Serve as demonstration and study centers which foster interchange,
mutual understanding, and favorable relations with the United States; and
- Promote civil societies.
Since the inception of the program in 1959, ASHA has provided over $800 million to
200 institutions in over 60 countries to facilitate the development of superior libraries,
schools, and hospitals. The ASHA office currently manages a budget of approximately
$20 millions per year with a worldwide portfolio of over 100 grants. The program
awards approximately 35 to 45 grants every year.
