EducationUSA Scholars Program-Undergraduate

Applications for the 2019 EducationUSA Scholars program are now open!

The EducationUSA Scholars Program assists determined students in navigating the complicated U.S. university admission process, with the goal of gaining admission and financial aid from universities in the United States and producing highly-skilled youth prepared to contribute to Mozambique. Through intensive, regularly scheduled training sessions, Scholars will work with EducationUSA Advisers over a full program cycle (up to 10 months) to try to secure admission and scholarships to begin study in the United States in the next academic year.

Small group advising on specific topics related to undergraduate study in the U.S.
In-depth individual advising by appointment.
Specialized workshops and seminars on essay-writing and test preparation.
A lending library of test preparation materials.
