Educational Advising
This center strives to
provide accurate, comprehensive, current, and unbiased information on
educational opportunities in the United States.
Our logo indicates that
we belong to a network of Educational Advising Centers affiliated with the US
Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
In addition to
administering the Fulbright Program in Ecuador,
the Fulbright Commission in Ecuador
has two educational advising centers, Quito
and Guayaquil, that
operate a reference library and an advisory service for people interested in
study in the United States,
regardless of the level of study.
REFERENCE
LIBRARY
Among many other things,
the library includes comprehensive information on graduate programs and
standardized admission tests, university catalogs, university guides and
handbooks, test preparation materials, videos on U.S.
universities, reference books on financial aid, and a data base on U.S.
universities and colleges. Hundreds of persons consult the Commission's
library each year.
Opened in Quito Monday thru

group orientations to Ecuadorian citizens on information about the U.S.
Educational System and application processes to U.S. universities as well as the

universities, organizations and any other groups that could benefit from the
information that we give. These orientations are at no-cost.

DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAMS
The Educational Advising

testing to students enrolled in distance learning programs. This service is
