With an anticipated audience of nearly 2,000 students interested in undergraduate, graduate, and intensive English programs in the U.S., Santiago, Chile will host one of the largest fairs in the South American circuit. Moreover, the Becas Chile government scholarship program offers more opportunities than ever for Chilean students to receive full funding for their U.S. studies, particularly at the graduate level. This ambitious program was launched in 2008, and aims to send 30,000 Chileans to higher education institutions abroad by 2017. Until now, the program has awarded over 5,000 scholarships, most for degree seeking students. The United States has been one of the leading destinations for Becas Chile scholarship recipients over the past four years.

By attending the fair in Chile, you will not only have the chance to recruit highly qualified students, but also the opportunity to learn more about the Becas Chile program and its requirements to sign a MoU with the Chilean Ministry of Education.  Additionally, Chile has one of the most stable economies in Latin America and is considered a safe and attractive option for Americans who are interested in studying abroad.

Lastly we would like to let you know that The Ritz Carlton in Santiago is offering schools that come to the fair a free night at the Ritz Carlton in Santiago between May 5 and May 7.
