The South Asian Spelling Bee (SASB), a platform built to showcase the spelling prowess of Indian-American children who for the past 13 years have dominated the national circuit and have come to be known as a spelling dynasty. Several articles, documentaries, tv stories and books have been done on the phenomenon and the SASB has been widely credited for its efforts in establishing this dominance.

In addition, the SASB has been widely recognize by several mainstream media outlets like The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The BBC, Associated Press, Vice News, and The New York Times among others. The South Asian Spelling Bee is fondly known as the Gold Standard of spelling bees and was exhaustively featured in the 2018 documentary called “Breaking the Bee.” It is the main subject in an Anthropology book due to be published in late 2018.

The South Asian Spelling Bee is held in various cites nation wide between June and August for children between the ages of 5-14. For more information and registration, visit www.southasianspellingbee.com

Funding for SASB goes into conducting regional level contests in major cities across USA to find the best speller and a finale in New Jersey. Prizes include funding for higher education for top finishers. SAEF is continuously seeking your support which can sustain the South Asian Spelling Bee and other planned initiatives.
