At College Expedition, we empower participants by guiding them on considerations in choosing a college, the college application process, essay-writing and standardized testing, and financial aid. 

Scholarships

College is an important investment to help improve the overall quality of not only the student’s life but also their families, which contributes to improvements in quality of life globally. The cost of education, however, should not be a barrier for talented and outstanding candidates of the Jamat to access high quality university education at accredited institutions.
