BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 6. Azerbaijani students
studying in the U.S. strengthen cultural and educational ties
between the two countries, U.S. Chargé d'Affaires Amy Carlon said
during a U.S. education fair held in Baku, Trend reports.
"Azerbaijani students in the United States not only receive a
high-quality education but also become cultural bridges between the
two countries, returning home with new knowledge and ideas that
contribute to Azerbaijan's development amid a strengthening
partnership with the United States," she emphasized.
According to her, 1,329 Azerbaijani students studied in the U.S.
last academic year, an 18% increase compared to the previous year,
and demonstrating a steady growth in interest in American
education.
Carlon also noted that pursuing an educational path in the U.S.
can be challenging due to the wide selection—more than 5,000
colleges and universities—but that various financial support
opportunities exist, including scholarships and grants.
In conclusion, she encouraged exhibitors to actively utilize the
event's opportunities and engage with universities and educational
programs.
The U.S. Education Fair is being held in Baku. The event is
organized by the U.S. Embassy in Azerbaijan in cooperation with the
EducationUSA program.
