Higher Education Services
AMLN understands that the future of the community it serves depends on the accessibility of higher education to its youth. An advanced degree opens a number of opportunities in our modern-day economy, whether they be social, professional or economic. The future leaders of the Arab-American and immigrant communities will be those who have acquired the skills and leadership abilities higher education can provide. Furthermore, higher education offers an avenue to increased economic security and success, enabling families and individuals alike to improve their standard of living and thereby that of their community as well.
In order to ensure the socioeconomic advancement of its community, AMLN administers its Higher Education Services program, which assists local youth in navigating the college admissions process. The program consists of two components: A series of seminars on college admissions presented at various locations throughout Western Queens; and personal, one-on-one consultations with AMLN’s Education Coordinator. The seminars are designed to familiarize students with the nuts and bolts of applying to college, from researching schools and standardized tests, to personal statements and financial aid. The personal consultations compliment the seminars by clarifying their content to students and assisting them personally with elements of their applications, such as personal essays and financial aid forms.
If you have any questions or concerns about higher education, or if you need assistance with your own applications, feel free to make an appointment with our Education Coordinator, who can be reached at:
