Program Highlights

EducationUSA Fair

The EducationUSA Fair is an event organized by the EducationUSA Advising Centers in Chile, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Ecuador and Colombia.
The 7th Annual Education USA Fair in Chile, 2009 was held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on September 7th. We had a total of 24 US universities participating and about 1200 people attending.


Becas Chile Fairs

The Becas Chile program started in October 2008 and it is the official organism that reunites all Chilean scholarships in one system.

It is divided in three types of full (tuition, room & board, insurance, books, return airfare) scholarships: 1) Graduate studies (including medical residencies), 2) Technical studies (with internships), 3) English teaching

Becas Chile requires the US university to be included among the highest ranked institutions in either the Shanghai or Times Higher Education rankings. Nevertheless if the university which the applicant has decided to apply to is not in the list, he or she has to prove to a Commission the quality of the program.
