Alumni from 28 accredited U.S. universities and colleges will participate in this event, providing prospective students an opportunity to interact directly with current students and alumni of U.S. higher education institutes. Participants can learn first-hand from the experiences of those who applied and attended universities across the United States. Entry to this event is free, but registration is required at https://bit.ly/2023AlumniFair
Students will have an opportunity to seek advice on the U.S. university application process, scholarships, and funding from qualified advisers of the EducationUSA center at the United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF) and learn about the student visa process from U.S. Embassy officials.
Speaking before the event, U.S. Embassy Spokesperson Christopher Elms said, “We want students from India to explore the diversity of U.S. higher education opportunities at the alumni fair. The United States welcomes Indian students, and we value their contributions to U.S. campuses and communities. The strong and growing relationship the United States and India share is built on the exchange of knowledge and the lifelong friendships rooted in Indian students’ time in the United States.”
Also speaking about the event, Adam Grotsky, Executive Director, USIEF, said “Indian students who are studying or have studied at American colleges and universities are citizen ambassadors who can provide accurate, often deeply personal, and nuanced narratives of their academic, extra-curricular and cross-cultural experiences in the United States. Such occasions to interact with several students and alumni of different U.S. universities, all in one place, help prospective students in India to gain a closer look at the opportunities, challenges, and returns that such educational experiences have provided to many like them.”
