Program Partners

USAP could not have been what it is and continue to grow without the support from several organizations and individuals. Here we honor all those who have strived to make USAP a success through their tireless help through the years.

EducationUSA – US Department of State
Educational Advisors who run USAP programs are all certified members of the EducationUSA network administered by the US Department of State’s Educational and Cultural Affairs Division. EducationUSA advisors work out of Fulbright Commissions, US Embassies, binational centers, and non-profit educational organizations.

Grace Scholarship Program run by Philanthropic Ventures Foundation
For six years now, the Grace Scholarship Program has provided gap funding for 3-5 USAP students a year, enabling them to access otherwise generous but not full scholarships offered by colleges and universities. The Philanthropic Ventures Foundation administers the Grace Scholarship Program.

NAFSA: Association of International Educators
As the premier membership association of international educators in the United States, NAFSA has been very supportive of the development of USAP, including awarding its founder, Rebecca Z. Mano, with the Marita Houlihan Award in 2006.

Air Zimbabwe
Air Zimbabwe has offered numerous discounted air tickets from Harare to Johannesburg and London for Zimbabwean USAP students over the past eight years.

Petersons
Petersons generously donated 30 SAT I and 30 SAT II practice books to the USAP program in Zimbabwe.

Educational Testing Services
ETS has made a very generous donation to offset costs of the USAP 2008 Forum to be held at the University of Pennsylvania.

Mufuka Foundation
The Mufuka Foundation provides full scholarship support for talented, Zimbabwean students who have attended high schools run by the Salvation Army Church to attend Lander University in South Carolina. They have partnered with Usap to fund a Usap participant to begin nursing and pre-medical studies at Lander beginning Fall 2008.

USAP Conference/Forum Campus Hosts
We thank the administrators at these institutions for their time, efforts, and resources in hosting past USAP conferences on their campuses.
