EducationUSA Competitive College Club

To ensure that the best and the brightest students in Lebanon have a chance to attend a U.S. university, we have developed the Competitive College Club (CCC). The CCC is open to all students in Lebanon regardless of nationality, ethnicity, and economic background. Appreciation of diversity is a fundamental value on U.S. campuses and integration starts at home.

Who can join?

The CCC is open to students in grades 10-11 with a minimum score of 80% or 16/20 in each of the last three years. Students must attend all meetings — bimonthly during the school year and daily during summer. Absences must be requested from and approved by the educational adviser. Students will sign a contract detailing their responsibilities and confirming they have indeed understood them.

The CCC serves as a cohort advising platform for better preparation for admissions throughout the application process. This includes, explanation of the U.S. education system, tests preparation, essay writing sessions and assignments, application advising, volunteering opportunities, and much more.  

While CCC does not guarantee admissions, it is designed to assist self-organized and independent students to improve chances of being admitted to U.S. colleges or universities. 

Participation in CCC is free but requires completing the application and passing a simple interview. 

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Currently in grade 10 or 11
  • Have a minimum score of 80/100 or 16/20
  • Active in research and extracurricular activities such as sports, community projects, and/or the arts
  • Committed to pursuing a bachelor’s degree in the US
