​​Scholarships
Financial assistance is available for both students and teacher trainee applicants. There are three possible scholarships available for students who meet the scholarship requirements. Scholarship applications may be downloaded below, completed and then emailed, faxed, or mailed to the ASI office. All scholarship applications are due May 1 except where noted.  

Scholarship availability depends on the generosity of those who are able to contribute. Tax-deductible donations to the ASI Scholarship Fund can be indicated on your ASI registration form.
