Responsabilidades da Oportunidade
PREP ESTUDAR FORA is a community-based program which aims to prepare talented Brazilian students for the application processes of the best universities abroad, at no cost whatsoever to the participants. Every year, we identify students through a rigorous, merit-based selection process to receive free guidance and preparation as they strive towards beginning their undergraduate education outside of Brazil. Participants receive an individual mentor who completed his undergraduate education abroad, virtual group orientation, nine hours of counseling with FUNDAÇÃO ESTUDAR'S professional college counselors and enrollment in an online preparation course comprised of detailed videos and homework assignments related to the application process. In addition, we offer need-based scholarships to help students cover the costs of the process (standardized tests, translations, a test preparation course, application fees, etc).
