About the Webinar

Studying abroad in the U.S. can be expensive, but there are many ways you can afford a quality U.S. higher education! One excellent way of affording a U.S. education is to begin your studies at a community college. Community colleges are comprehensive higher education institutions that offer academic and career technical programs and university transfer partnerships to many U.S. four-year institutions. Tuition at community colleges is typically much less expensive than attending a university. Learn how you can save more than $50,000USD by attending Elgin Community College for the first two years of your bachelor’s degree. Join us as we explore options to reduce the cost of an undergraduate degree in the U.S. and offers insights into how attending a community college can help you afford a U.S. education.
