Deadline: 9 December 2019

The U.S. Embassy in Rwanda is seeking applications on 2020 EducationUSA Scholars Program (ESP).

The mission is to assist their Scholars in negotiating the admissions process in U.S. colleges and universities to better their academic futures, with the goal of producing highly skilled and widely educated leaders to build tomorrow’s Rwanda.

The Education USA Advising Center works with students through regularly scheduled training sessions to assist them throughout the application process to secure admission and financial aid from universities in the United States. They expect a sincere commitment from the students to give back their energy and time to the program and to their communities.

They do not limit the program geographically; however, students must be able to reach their offices in Kigali as required for full participation. ESP students will work with the EducationUSA Adviser in 2020 to try and secure admission and financial aid to begin classes at U.S. colleges and universities for the Fall 2021 school term.
