OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM

The US Department of State is pleased to announce the Opportunity Program, designed to support the application process to US higher education institutions for students who are highly qualified but are unable to cover the expense of applying. The program provides funds to cover the costs faced by talented but financially disadvantaged international students who are not eligible for or funded by other US Government-sponsored exchange programs. Students must apply to accredited institutions independently (at the graduate or undergraduate level) and are responsible for the entire process.

The Opportunity Program may cover expenses including: testing fees, transportation and overnight accommodation and meals at testing sites located far from the student's home, application fees for US institutions, international courier fees to send applications to the US, costs for translations and certifications of the student's official documents and records, costs relating to applying for appropriate U.S. exchange visitor visas, transportation and overnight accommodation and meals for the purposes of a visa interview in cases where the consulate is located far from a student's home, transportation to the U.S. to the institution where the student will study, and/or a one-time settling-in allowance to help international students cover the initial costs of living in the U.S.

Funding for selected grantees is at the discretion of the US Embassy in Kyiv and may be discontinued at any time if the student does not meet his/her responsibilities (for example, meeting test and application deadlines). The Opportunity Program offers no guarantee of acceptance or financial aid awards at US institutions.

Applications are accepted during the year
