A few years ago Moses Onyeabor’s goal in life was to finish secondary school. He thought the best that he could ever be was to become a petty trader like his elder brother, but he did not stop dreaming of a university education and a better future. Thanks to the U.S. Embassy’s Education USA Advising Center’s United States Achievers Program (USAP), Moses is now the proud recipient of a $41,000 scholarship from the Arizona State University, to study Biochemistry. His scholarship includes the award of a laptop computer, living stipends and air tickets. Through USAP, the U.S. Embassy’s Education USA Advising Center identifies highly talented, economically disadvantaged straight ‘A’ students and mentors them through the application process to U.S. colleges and universities that offer them admission with full scholarship.
