Our mission at EducationUSA is to participate in the creation of highly skilled and globally educated leaders to build tomorrow’s Tanzania. The ESP works with students through regularly scheduled training sessions to guide them while applying for admission and financial aid to U.S.universities and colleges.
Since its inception, the EducationUSA Scholars Program has worked with hundreds of Tanzania students.
The Scholars receive free membership to the EducationUSA Advising centers in Dar es salaam. In return, EducationUSA expects a sincere commitment from the students to give their best to the program and to give back to their communities.
The program is not limited geographically; however, students must be able to reach our offices in Dar es Salaam, as required for full participation. Students will work with the EducationUSA Adviser and interns in 2021/2022 to try and secure admission and financial aid from U.S. universities. Admitted students will begin their studies in the U.S. in August 2021.
Qualifications: A VERY strong record in academics, co-curricular and leadership activities, and community service plus demonstrated financial need.
