  "account": "The EducationUSA College Fair in Kumasi recently drew a large crowd of students from secondary and tertiary levels eager to explore opportunities for studying abroad in the United States. More than 20 US-based universities and colleges were present at the event, attracting over 3,000 prospective applicants seeking guidance on their journey towards higher education overseas.\n\nThe students were provided with detailed information and assistance regarding the admission, visa, and scholarship processes necessary to pursue their tertiary education in the United States. EducationUSA advisers worked closely with each student individually and in groups, both in-person and virtually, to ensure a thorough understanding of the college or university application process and help them become successful applicants.\n\nMarilyn Owusu, Executive Director of ACE Consult, explained that the fair not only builds students' confidence but also helps them establish valuable connections. \"As these students interact with the universities, it builds their confidence and gives them the connections. So, when they are applying to the schools, they know what exactly they want,\" she said. Over the past year, advisers from both the Accra and Kumasi centers have assisted thousands of Ghanaian students in applying to admissions at hundreds of accredited institutions of higher learning.",
