Sept 02, Colombo: The first ever United States Embassy supported American University Exhibition will take place this Friday and Saturday, September 5th and 6th, from 10 am to 6 pm at the Colombo Hilton.

The American University Exhibition and Road Show is the largest, free and open-to-the-public opportunity for parents and students to learn about higher education in the U.S. directly from universities, U.S. Embassy staff and qualified education advisors from the Fulbright Commission.

American representatives from twenty-two universities and institutes of higher education across the U.S. are visiting Sri Lanka to attend the fair, meet with prospective students and share information about their institutions through individual meetings, handouts and presentations.

Visitors will learn about university admissions, financial aid opportunities and student visa procedures, as well as, living and studying in America.

In addition, Sri Lankan alumni of U.S. universities will be on hand to share their experience with parents and students and answer questions about study in America.

Advisors from the Fulbright Commission will be available to counsel all attendees on researching American universities, completing tests and applications, as well as, finding funding to finance study in the U.S. – including student work opportunities. No prior appointments or registration are necessary.
