Opportunity Program: Helping You Take the Next Step Toward Study in the U.S.!
The Opportunity program provides support for talented international students who may need financial help to take the next steps toward study in the United States at an accredited institution of higher learning. These grants are available now to help cover the upfront costs of seeking higher education in the U.S., and are part of EducationUSA’s broad range of assistance to international students. We want to demonstrate that international students like you are welcome in the U.S., and increase access to U.S. institutions of higher learning for deserving students who have broad interests and ambitions but modest means.
