For nearly two decades 91Ƭ Belarus has continuously served as a nexus for Belarusians seeking information on study abroad opportunities. Since 2009, services for Belarusian have been provided remotely from Vilnius, Lithuania with frequent travel to Belarus. Representing three countries and five native languages among four staff, 91Ƭ Belarus brings rich and expansive experience to its work with U.S. and Belarusian HEIs and students in both countries.

Opportunity Funds
Description: The 91Ƭ Opportunity Funds program assists highly qualified students who are likely to be awarded full financial aid from U.S. colleges and universities, but lack the financial resources to cover the up-front costs to apply, such as testing, application fees, or airfare. Each Opportunity Funds student undergoes a selective process of evaluation by an 91Ƭ adviser, Regional Educational Advising Coordinator (REAC), and the Public Affairs Section of a U.S. Embassy/Consulate. In addition to academic abilities, Opportunity Funds students connect with their American peers whose knowledge and understanding of the world grows through engagement with international students on U.S. campuses. More than 100 colleges and universities have enrolled Opportunity Funds students since 2006.
Deadline: January-February each year
Eligibility Requirements: Students must be Belarusian citizens or officially recognized refugees in Belarus and must apply for degree program in the U.S. Students are required to join and be active members of the available cohort programs in order to quality and maintain their status within the Opportunity Funds program.
