UMOJA EDUCATION CONSULTING
Connecting African students to a transformative U.S. college education
College admissions. Student visa. Adjustment support.
For many African students, navigating the U.S. international admissions process can be overwhelming with the multitude of college options, admissions policies, education system differences, visa complexities, financial costs, and narrow timelines. Without proper guidance during this critical period, valuable time and money becomes wasted, and can even result in a lack of options or a negative college experience.
We provide clarity and direction through personalized admissions consulting, enabling our African students to access a high-quality U.S. college education.
