Fair offers scholarship opportunities in the US only to Brazilians

For many North American universities, welcoming Brazilians means bringing diversity and a new worldview to the classroom. Therefore, at least seven of the twenty educational institutions participating in the EducationUSA-organized event offer discounts on tuition, housing assistance, food, and health insurance. The free, face-to-face meeting is aimed at students looking for vacancies for undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as free and English courses.

“North American universities see Brazilians as aggregators, a point of union between expats. And through institutions with many cost options, affordable values, scholarships or already very affordable annual fees such as community colleges, for example, explains EducationUSA coordinator Simone Ferreira.

Simone Ferreira recalls that the scholarship is awarded not only to those who get the best grades in exams, but also to students who engage in social projects, academic research, music, sports and a path that demonstrates dedication and personal initiative.

The EducationUSA exhibition will be held between From September 20 to 29 In cities Sao Paulo, Recife, Fortaleza, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte. The EducationUSA team will present lectures and be on call to answer any questions about study programs. Applications should be made through the link: bit.ly/FeiraEdusaBR2022

Applicants will receive information about the admission process for US universities directly from the person responsible for this exam, as well as details about the tests required to apply and the visa application process. There will also be lectures on the American education system, undergraduate and graduate admissions processes, and financial aid.
