Officials from American universities visited Sulaimaniya.
The students’ questions tumbled out: “Do you have a computer science program?” “How long does it take to get a degree?” “Can I study English at the same time?”

The college fair in Sulaimaniya followed a similar one in Baghdad where some 700 students flocked to meet with mostly American college recruiters at the first event of its kind in Iraq, a recruiting session for Iraqi students who want to study in American and British Commonwealth institutions.

Scholarships and fellowships for international students (daily updated) can be found here, here, here and here.
