Educational Exchange

Educational Advising

The Educational Advisor provides a comprehensive array of resources and services to Eritreans who wish to study in the United States. No fee is charged for these services. The Educational Advisor can assist prospective students for undergraduate, graduate, professional, doctoral, secondary and specialized English language study.

The center can assist students in assessing their qualifications for admission and for scholarships but neither the Center nor the Embassy have any influence on admission decisions.
