Project Objectives
EducationUSA is a U.S. Department of State network promoting U.S. higher education to students around the world by offering accurate, comprehensive, and current information about opportunities to study at accredited postsecondary institutions in the United States. EducationUSA is the official source on U.S. higher education.
The U.S. Embassy’s EducationUSA Zambia program is seeking a registered Zambian non-profit, non-governmental organization to assist with their educational advising activities.

- Application and test fees;
- SEVIS and visa fees; and
- Settling in allowances.
Funding Information

Participants and Audiences
