The Challenge
The American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) program demonstrates the best in U.S. educational and medical technologies and practices in competitively selected high schools, universities, libraries, and medical centers. The purpose, as established by Congress, serves to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives by strengthening institutions that will nurture and develop the next generation of policymakers, scientists, and entrepreneurs; and to provide quality medical and educational opportunities in recipient countries.
