We want to wish all members of our CTP family a Ha We want to wish all members of our CTP family a Happy New Year! Looking back at the past year, it was one filled with uncertainties, especially at the end but we made it to the final stretch, rounded the last corner, and made it to the finishing line. Despite the COVID-19 madness that swirls around us, forcing us to carry out our Summer Sessions virtually, we have had another successful Summer Sessions, with record breaking applicants pool as well as student enrollments. We would like to thank our talented and dedicated instructors, who came up with innovative ways to make the sessions as engaging as possible. We would also like to thank our amazing students. It has been a great summer and we enjoyed every moment of teaching you. We hope you feel the same and that you will take what you have learned this summer and build on it as you continue putting the pieces together on your college application. We wish that the coming year bring to you more strength and more dedication and let 2013 be the year you continue achieving all your goals with your commitment and hard work. Happy New Year! We will have more amazing events and opportunities in the new year, so stay tuned and make sure to check our telegram channel(https://t.me/ctpethiopia), our Facebook page(@ctpethiopia), our website(www.ctpethiopia.com) and our Instagram account as well.
Every year, thousands of students graduate from hi Every year, thousands of students graduate from high school in Ethiopia. Of which, many have the potential but lack the means to get into the best colleges in the world. Since 2014, Counseling and Test Preparation (CTP Ethiopia) has been working to narrow the information gap in Ethiopia about the college application process. This summer, because of the current pandemic, we decided to hold our traditionally in-person, annual summer session virtually. This move will mean that we will incur operational costs such as online course management fees, instructor compensations, SAT fee payments for our top students, and so on. In the past, we relied on funding from Columbia University to cover some of these expenses. Unfortunately, the funds have been revoked this year due to the pandemic. Even though our funding is depleted, we decided that the summer session was too valuable to cancel. But, we will need your humble support to cover some of the expenses mentioned above and on the GoFundMe link shared on our instagram bio. Every donation, small or big, will be extremely valuable to us and to the thousands of hopeful, intelligent, and passionate high school students in Ethiopia. Please share and support our campaign. To learn more about CTP Ethiopia, visit our website at https://www.ctpethiopia.com/ You can find the link to the gofundme on our bio. Thank you for your support!
