EducationUSA Curaçao celebrates
1st anniversary and expansion
On Thursday, Curaçao celebrated the one-year anniversary and expansion of the island’s first-ever EducationUSA Advising Center, a free resource for students, parents, and teachers to learn about opportunities to study at educational institutions in the United States.
The Center is result of a close partnership between the U.S. Consulate, the Ministry of Education, and Stichting Studiefinanciering Curaçao (SSC). This collective effort underscores the U.S. Consulate’s commitment to advancing education - and thus economic opportunity and mutual understanding - for all students in Curacao.
EducationUSA empowers students to achieve their dreams of pursuing higher education in the United States by providing the tools and resources they need to explore their options. With a full-time advisor on hand, students can get personalized guidance and access invaluable information about academic programs, scholarships, visa application procedures, and more.
With the one-year anniversary celebration, the Center announced its expansion with a new Dream Hub – an inviting space where students have access to computers and online resources to independently research U.S. universities and the path to making their education dream a reality. The Dream Hub features a relaxing lounge area where students and their families can gather and share their dreams, plans, and successes, thereby learning from one another. The new hub will foster a sense of community for the students, parents, teachers, and administrators who seek to equip Curacao’s youth with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive in the global economy.
