EducationUSA Scholar Program
Description: ESP is a group of high achieving students who are either in their final year of high school or who have completed school one year ago. These students meet routinely at EducationUSA Freetown to engage in workshops preparing them to apply to U.S. colleges and universities. This program does NOT provide or guarantee a scholarship to study in the U.S.
Be sure to plan your educational finances carefully. Secure as much financing as possible from family members and apply only to colleges and universities where you can either pay full cost or compete successfully for the amount of financial aid you need. Research each university’s cost and financial aid policies before applying. All students who meet the requirements are eligible to apply regardless of funding, however we encourage applicants to plan realistically for their education expenses.
Deadline: September 30 each year.
Eligibility Requirements: Completion of high school with good academic records or in final year of high school with strong academic records.
