INTRODUCTION
The EAC is organized to provide the highest quality and most up-to-date educational advising services possible. The EAC and facilities will be open to the general public for an orientation session and library services, four hours per week. The EAC will, however, concentrate its efforts on students in Nigeria who have the academic qualifications and financial resources prerequisite for studying in the United States. These members will complete a $10 (or Naira equivalent) application form, meet with a counselor and if approved, will pay $200 or the Naira equivalent (about the average cost of a Standardized Test) as membership fee. EAC members will have priority access to facilities and staff.
APPLICATION PROCESS
Application Forms will be available to students who
are interested in becoming members of the EAC and receiving personal attention
in identifying and applying to schools in the United States. The EAC application
forms will be handed out to potential members at a cost of $10 (or Naira
equivalent) each.
Each potential member who completes an application
form will be assessed by a counselor who will inform them frankly about
the chances of getting into a tertiary institution in the United States.
If the client is qualified under the basic rules at higher institutions
for foreign applicants to attend schools in the U.S., they will have the
option of becoming an EAC member and will pay a yearly fee of $200 or the
Naira equivalent.
These clients will receive a photo identification
card, have access to a counselor and all of the facilities available at
EAC we feel are necessary in the process of identifying appropriate institutions.
The facilities available at EAC include the Library, Technology Center,
Tutorial Materials, Contacts, E-mail and Videos to ensure the best possible
chance of finding and getting admitted into the most appropriate institutions
in the United States. The counselor will assist the client in finding and
applying for an appropriate school, taking the necessary tests and understanding
what life will be like in a new environment and culture. Clients will as
well attend members only orientation sessions which cover detailed information
about Preparing to Study in the United States, Counseling on the Visa Process
and a Pre-Departure Session. Members have access to EAC services every weekday
except Wednesdays and Nigerian and American holidays.
EAC has opened
several independent study centers. Members
who are not resident in the city where our centers are located can use the
resources available at these centers.
