Filipinos Studying in the U.S. Increases for Third Straight Year
Press Release:: Manila, November 27, 2019 — For the third straight year, the number of Filipinos studying in the United States increased, according to an annual survey of international exchange activity in the United States of America.
Based on Open Doors data released this November, 3,320 Filipino students enrolled in U.S. Universities this past year. This is a 2.9 percent increase from 3,225 in 2018.
“We are delighted to see continued strong growth in educational exchange between the United States and the Philippines, and hope it will continue. Our countries share deep historical and cultural ties, and the Philippines is brimming with talent and opportunity. The U.S higher education system, with its unmatched quality and range of options, is a natural fit for Filipinos seeking an international education and we are ready to welcome the next generation of Filipino leaders,” said U.S. Embassy in the Philippines Cultural Affairs Counselor Matt Keener.
