2020 EducationUSA Scholars ProgramThe EducationUSA office at the Public Affairs Section of the United States Embassy – Kigali, seeks to identify and recruit secondary school graduates who scored 75% and above in Senior 4, Senior 5, and Senior 6 to join the 2020 EducationUSA Scholars Program (ESP). Only students who will graduate from secondary schools in November 2019 and those who graduated in 2018 are eligible to apply. Students who graduated in 2017 and years prior are not eligible.

Our mission is to assist our 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. We expect a sincere commitment from the students to give back their energy and time to the program and to their communities.

We do not limit the program geographically; however, students must be able to reach our 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.
