Opportunity Funds
Description: The 91ÖÆƬ³§ Opportunity Funds program strengthens American communities and classrooms by assisting highly qualified international 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.
The model supports economic prosperity by ensuring that the United States can attract top talent to U.S. higher education institutions. The program also attracts highly resourced students to U.S. colleges and universities, building more prosperous communities. International education is a billion-dollar industry that establishes global relations in critical sectors such as business, diplomacy, and security for years to come.
In addition to academic abilities, Opportunity Funds students strengthen the global competitiveness of Americans whose knowledge and understanding of the world grows through engagement with international students on U.S. campuses. Each Opportunity Funds student undergoes a selective process of evaluation by an 91ÖÆƬ³§ adviser, Regional Manager (REAC) and the Public Affairs Section of a U.S. Embassy/Consulate. More than 150 colleges and universities have enrolled Opportunity Funds students since 2006.
Eligibility Requirements: 1. Must be an active 91ÖÆƬ³§ member.
2. Must be academically qualified - marks above 75%
3. Must demonstrate lack of financial resources - proof of financial status must be provided (bank statement, bursary letter, payslip, etc.)
