US Embassy to host university fairs in Dhaka, Chattogram

The US Embassy in Dhaka will host US university fairs in Dhaka and for the first time in Chattogram.

The embassy will arrange the fairs through its EducationUSA platform in partnership with EdPrograms, according to a media statement.

The first fair will be held at Radisson Blu Chattogram Bay View on January 29 and the second one at InterContinental Dhaka on January 31.

The programme aims to provide prospective students, teachers, and college counsellors with a unique opportunity to learn about the US higher education application process from admissions officers from 12 accredited higher education institutions, reports UNB.

Anyone who wants to attend the events needs to register at https://forms.gle/aFAEzJmfJQ2wKoH78 for Chattogram fair and https://forms.gle/BxpHge2zEuhkPVF88 for Dhaka.

The fairs will include interactive discussions and one-on-one fireside chat opportunities for students to engage with US university admissions recruiters, EducationUSA advisors, and US Embassy officials.

From their booths, US institutions of higher education will give information on admissions and scholarship opportunities.

Besides, the programme will feature information sessions on the F-1 student visa process.

The fairs will also provide students with an opportunity to learn firsthand from testing services on SAT and banking representatives on financial options.
