Daria Andreichenko earned a third of a million dollars - though not in money, but in the form of a scholarship. The girl was accepted into one of the most prestigious universities in the world - Duke University.

Mom 17-year-old Daria says that for the last two years her daughter lived in a “school-house” mode, and no walks or meetings with friends. The schoolgirl independently prepared for the SAT, a standardized test for admission to higher education institutions in the United States, then passed the English exam and passed an online interview.

As a result, she received a grant from Bill Gates, who is one of the founders of the scholarship program, and invitations to study from the most reputable universities of the world, including from Duke University. “Only 1700 people from 32000 come to this university, and only 8 people from all over the world can apply for this scholarship. When I received a letter that I not only entered, but also became a finalist for this scholarship, I, being in shock, asked them if it was a joke, ”the schoolgirl recalls.

According to Daria, many of her entourage did not believe that she would succeed, but helped her support of the family. “When we had a dream, and it was two years ago, everyone told me: you are a bad mother, because you put on rose-colored glasses for a child, it cannot be, who needs a simple Kazakhstani girl, nobody needs her,” Dasha’s mother recalls Marina Andreichenko. “And just the two of us clenched our fists and went, so I want to say to everyone: do not believe, your children are the best, do not listen to anyone, go ahead.” We succeeded - and you succeed. "

Duke University is a private research university located in Durham, North Carolina, USA.

Founded by Methodists and Quakers in 1838. In 1924, with the efforts of tobacco industrialist and philanthropist James Duke, the university received a new name in honor of his late father, Washington Duke.

Ratings of medical, law and business schools of the university are among the best among US universities. In the 15 year, according to UniPage, Duke University took 2014 position in the Academic ranking of universities in the world, as well as 23 line in the ranking of the best US universities according to Forbes.
