Project Description

The EducationUSA N. Macedonia runs a very successful Competitive College Club (cccnmk.weebly.com), a signature EducationUSA program that helps the best and the brightest high school students have an improved chance at admissions to a U.S. colleges and universities. In 2019 we introduced the CCC research project where CCC students under the mentorship of Peace Corps volunteers and local professors conducted various research projects in different areas. We’d like to continue with the practice and allow students to have research mentors that will help them focus and explore STEM research topics. This will not only help international students improve their English writing and speaking skills but also better prepare them for the U.S. college experience.
