Students and parents eyeing U.S. study opportunities will have the chance to meet directly with American universities as the 11th EducationUSA University Fair heads to Quezon City on May 22 and Davao City on May 23 — marking the event’s first-ever staging in Mindanao.
The U.S. Embassy in the Philippines announced that this year’s fair will feature several American colleges and universities visiting the country for the first time, expanding access for Filipino students seeking globally competitive education opportunities.
“This year’s University Fair features several American colleges and universities that are visiting the Philippines for the first time and eager to meet with Filipino students,” said Y. Robert Ewing. “We are also thrilled to bring it to Mindanao for the first time, opening access for more Filipinos to experience American excellence in education and strengthen ties that make both our nations safer, stronger, and more prosperous.”
The Quezon City leg will be held at the Quezon City Hall M.I.C.E. Center, with separate sessions for undergraduate and graduate studies.
Participating institutions in the undergraduate session include University of Rochester, University of San Francisco, SUNY Stony Brook, Southern Utah University, Saint Louis University, and Middle Tennessee State University, among others.
For graduate studies, participating schools include Arizona State University, Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, City University of Seattle, and other U.S. higher education institutions.
Meanwhile, the Davao City fair will take place at the University of Southeastern Philippines Social Hall in partnership with the Davao City local government. Participating schools include Rice University, College of Central Florida, Trine University, and several other American institutions.
