The Opportunity Funding Program 2015 at USEF-Nepal

The Opportunity Funding Program is an initiative by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs to make U.S. higher education more accessible to non-elite international students from disadvantaged backgrounds. USEF-Nepal’s EducationUSA Advising Center, the only EducationUSA Advising Center in Nepal and the only official source in Nepal for information and advice on U.S. higher education, will administer the Opportunity Funding Program in Nepal. Through this program, EducationUSA is committed to helping non-elite international students from disadvantaged backgrounds to have the best possible chance to experience higher education in the United States.
With the belief that lack of finances should not deter a talented student from applying to a U.S. university, the Opportunity Funding Program funds selected up-front costs associated with applying to U.S. colleges and universities. The Opportunity Funding Program will NOT fund the costs associated with attending U.S. colleges and universities. Therefore, this program is targeted toward students with excellent academic records and high chances of being awarded full funding from U.S. colleges and universities. Only students with demonstrated financial need – those who cannot afford to pay the up-front costs of applying to U.S. colleges – are eligible for the Opportunity Funding Program.
Students selected for the Opportunity Funding Program will be supported for the following expenses incurred while applying to U.S. colleges or universities:

TOEFL and SAT/ ACT registration fees.
College and university application fees.
Postage/courier fees for dispatching college and university applications.
U.S. student visa fees and SEVIS fees.
Travel to a testing center or U.S. Embassy (for students from outside the Kathmandu Valley).
The Opportunity Funding Program supports students applying to enroll in the undergraduate (Bachelor’s) degree at an accredited U.S. college or university. The program does NOT support transfer students or students applying at the graduate (i.e. Master’s or Ph.D.) level. Eligible students should be applying to enroll at a U.S. institution in the Fall 2015 semester.
