<p>That’s the headline of an article in today’s London Times. From the article: “A Third World American scholarship scheme has been extended to Britain to recruit the brightest students from the poorest backgrounds to study at US universities. The United States Achievers Programme (USAP) was devised to give Zimbabweans the opportunity to compete for university places in America. Now sixth-formers from Lewisham and East Ham, alongside students from Nigeria, Bangladesh and Mongolia, are being urged to apply for places at Harvard and Yale and study for free. …Among the 50 US universities that have signed up to the scheme, six are ranked in the top 100 Shanghai Jiao Tang world universities, inclduing Stanford, Yale, Harvard, MIT and Chicago.” Not sure how to link it but if anyone’s interested you can search USAP under the ‘Britain’ section of today’s <a href=“http://www.timesonline.co.uk%5B/url%5D”>www.timesonline.co.uk</a>.</p>
