On November 27, the Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission and the Fulbright Educational Advising Center (FEAC)-EducationUSA checked another city in our fall edition of the International Study Day (ISD) tour, alongside the British Council, Campus France and DAAD, with two presentations in Piteşti, at “Alexandru Odobescu” and “Zinca Golescu” National College.

An overall audience of 130-strong high school students joined us for the two presentations, keen to discover the path to studying in the U.S., as well as Europe. The FEAC-EducationUSA adviser provided them with an overview of the American higher education system, the application process, and forms of financial aid, encouraging them to take advantage of the Fulbright Educational Advising Center’s resources and services. We also took the opportunity to promote the newly launched competition for the 2019 EducationUSA Opportunity Funds program.

The International Study Day project consists of a series of outreach presentations jointly organized by the British Council, Campus France DAAD, and the Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission, in various cities throughout the country, targeting the underserved student population.
