ISTANBUL (TR) - According to the education statistics announced by UNESCO on Turkey, every year 50 thousand students go abroad to make their education life more productive. Good news for students who want to study in the USA, which is at the top of the preferred countries, came from the International High School Student Exchange Program WCEP. The Canadian-based academic organization announced its collaboration with the American Association of Private Schools. WCEP Turkey General Manager Volkan Cerrahoğlu said, “We provided 25 students from Turkey with a $1 million scholarship and offered them the opportunity to study at the high schools of the best universities in the USA. In this way, the students selected for our program have a more productive education process while preparing for university.”

80% of boarding school students feel more ready for academia

Volkan Cerrahoğlu, who stated that 80% of the boarding school students feel more ready for the academic life and campus environment at the university, according to the research conducted by the USA Boarding Schools Association, said, “The students we graduated from boarding schools such as Preparatory, Fryeburg, Lee Academy, George Washington Washington In addition to being easily accepted into top universities such as Michigan State, California, they also have an elite status in their business life. Boarding schools in the USA, whose annual fees range from 50 to 90 thousand dollars, are very selective when accepting students. Considering that Turkish students meet these criteria exactly, we, as the WCEP Team, provided 1 million dollars scholarship support to 25 students we selected from many cities of Turkey, and we were instrumental in their education in the best boarding schools in the USA.”

“Let Your Class Be The World!”

Noting that high schools such as Kabataş Erkek, Cağaloğlu Anadolu, Validebağ Science and Istanbul Atatürk Science are among the schools they receive the most demand in Turkey, WCEP Turkey General Manager Volkan Cerrahoğlu said, “Boarding schools in the USA prefer students who are interested in various branches in addition to academic success. Therefore, students who were candidates for our program faced a detailed application process. We included students in the program after they were successful in the selection exam and interview, by evaluating them with criteria such as working in at least one sport, art or academic field, getting good references from their teachers, and catching a grade point average of over 80 in the last 3 years. We are happy to realize a project that we support successful students by joining forces with the American Private Schools Association on this path that we set out with the motto 'Let Your Class Be the World’."
