EducationUSA is committed to working with the full array of institutions, organizations, and individuals that advance opportunities for qualified international students to study in the United States. This includes agents identified by accredited U.S. higher education institutions as their representatives overseas. EducationUSA content and other relevant resources, including the annual Global Guide publication, Student Mobility Facts & Figures information sheets, and the EducationUSA website, are available to the public, including to agents.
EducationUSA Fairs, Forums, Events
EducationUSA advisers prioritize accredited U.S. higher education institutions and prospective international students in access to our programming and activities.
