There are many determined and talented, economically-disadvantaged students in Nigeria who lack only financial resources and access to information to better their educational future. For the 10th year, the United States Mission Nigeria seeks to identify highly academically qualified and motivated, low-income, Senior Secondary 3 (SS3) students or fresh Secondary school or University graduates in Nigeria to join the EducationUSA Student Achievers Program (EdSAP).



EdSAP’s mission is to assist highly-talented and determined, economically-disadvantaged students to negotiate and finance the admissions process for colleges and universities in the United States. The aim is to produce highly-skilled and widely-educated leaders to build tomorrow’s Nigeria.



EdSAP works closely with students through regularly scheduled meetings and seminars to assist them throughout the application process to secure admission and scholarships for colleges and universities in the United States. EdSAP finances all costs of the application process, including registration fees for required standardized examinations and provides free membership to the U.S. EducationUSA Advising Center for its participants. EdSAP expects a sincere commitment of students to give back their energy and time to the program and to their communities and to be the best they can be.



Applicants are welcome from all the states in Nigeria. However, students must be able to reach our offices in Abuja or Lagos on a monthly basis during the school year, throughout school holidays, and after the WASSCE exams or during NYSC year, for full participation. Participants will work with our EducationUSA Advisors from June 2016 - August 2017 to try to secure places and financial assistance to begin study in the U.S. in August 2017.



Successful students will be part of a global network of EdSAP students from 17 countries and four continents. To learn more about successful EdSAP students, visit www.usapglobal.org
