The American Center Monrovia hosted an EducationUSA information session on “Why Study in the United States” attended by 20 university and high school students from various institutions within Monrovia.
During the session, participants received valuable insights into the essential requirements for studying in the United States. This included detailed discussions on academic preparation, the significance of standardized testing, and the financial considerations necessary for a successful educational journey at U.S. higher education institutions.
Our advisers also demonstrated how to use essential search tools, such as the Common App, College Board, and Peterson’s, to help students identify institutions that align with their academic goals and personal interests.
A major focus of the session was the financial aspects of studying in the U.S. Our advisers emphasized that families should be prepared to cover up to 80% of tuition and fees, depending on the chosen institution and available scholarships.
