The US Embassy in Nairobi has invited students to register for the September 13 EducationUSA University Fair, where representatives from over 30 US institutions will offer guidance on programs, scholarships and admissions.
Nairobi, Kenya – The United States Embassy in Nairobi has officially opened registration for the 2025 EducationUSA University Fair, giving Kenyan students an opportunity to directly engage with admissions representatives from more than 30 accredited American universities. The event is scheduled for September 13 at the Sarit Expo Centre, Westlands, and will showcase a wide array of undergraduate and graduate programs, scholarships, and guidance on navigating the competitive U.S. admissions process.
Organisers say the fair will go beyond university exhibitions by offering interactive seminars on:
U.S. visa application procedures and interview preparation.
Financial aid and scholarship opportunities, including merit- and need-based funding.
Insights into campus life and adapting to academic culture in the U.S.
Attendees will have the chance to seek personalised advice from admissions officers and EducationUSA advisers tailored to their academic goals and career aspirations.
Advance registration is required through the EducationUSA portal.
All participants must carry a valid identification document to gain entry.
The fair is free of charge and open to students, parents, teachers, and guidance counsellors.
The embassy underscored that the initiative is designed to demystify studying in the United States, particularly for students who lack access to formal guidance on international applications.
EducationUSA, a network supported by the U.S. Department of State, has long played a central role in connecting Kenyan students to American higher education. Its advisers have assisted thousands of Kenyan applicants in securing placements at top U.S. institutions and winning scholarships.
Kenya remains one of the largest sources of African students in the U.S., reflecting a growing appetite for international study opportunities among its youth. Analysts note that such fairs strengthen bilateral educational ties and equip students with knowledge to compete globally.
Organisers are urging parents, teachers, and counsellors to encourage students to attend, noting that the fair could be the first step in shaping international careers. “This is not just about studying abroad; it is about building bridges between Kenya and the world through education,” one EducationUSA official remarked.
The Nairobi fair is expected to draw hundreds of participants, further cementing Kenya’s position as a key partner in U.S. educational exchange programs.
