Center Description: Our center provides guidance and information for students interested in studying at Tertiary Institutions in the United States. We offer monthly information sessions, visit local high schools, and give individual assistance to students who have attended an information session. USAP:United States Student Achievers Program was introduced in 2006, and Opportunity Funding in 2007.
