EducationUSA’s mission is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and people of other countries through the educational and cultural exchange. EducationUSA works with all U.S. accredited HEIs and equally represents them all. EducationUSA encourages students to look beyond rankings and consider a wide range of factors when considering which institutions to apply to in order to ensure the best fit for them. Your participation in our fairs is an important way for us to achieve this mission by showcasing the diversity of U.S. higher education and by connecting you to undiscovered talent in the region.
EducationUSA Russia Winter Tour takes you to five cities: Moscow, St.Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Vladivostok. Our tours are always U.S. only focused higher education fairs in the region.

In Moscow, St.Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk and Vladivostok, you will meet students from diverse social and economic backgrounds with strong English language skills and interests in all fields and levels of study.
