Emerging study abroad platform for African and Caribbean students, Findadmission, has launched a ‘News Feed’ feature to provide students with a snapshot of the various offerings available at colleges and universities recruiting from their regions.
Through the News Feed, students can learn about Findadmission’s partners in the US, Canada, UK, Europe and China and access information on admission requirements, deadlines, scholarship opportunities, areas of study and campus lifestyles of more than 200 institutions.
“The News Feed is dedicated to providing useful information to those who need it the most”
“The News Feed is dedicated to providing study opportunities and useful information for those who need it the most,” said Folabi Obembe, Findadmission founder and CEO.
“Students can learn about and interact with their school choices prior to application to increase their chances of admission.”
Through the News Feed, Findadmission’s partner institutions are also able to post information, updates and news about academic opportunities.
Meanwhile, students can view, comment, like or share posts among themselves, and learn about upcoming visits to their country by school representatives.
Offered to students at no charge, Findadmission’s resources include profiles of colleges and universities, online uploading of academic-related documents, visa counselling and other features.
Obembe said over 60% of Findadmission students are seeking postgraduate degrees and nearly 40% are undergraduate candidates.
Statistics released by UNESCO in 2016 showed the number of African students seeking study opportunities abroad increased steadily from 343,370 in 2006 to 427,311 in 2014.
“We are a proven partner for education providers seeking to market, network, recruit and enrol vetted students from a rapidly growing student marketplace,” added Obembe.
