CEO Address

Good Day to you all…
The International Student Services (ISS) is a regional organisation that seeks to attract students from various countries in Africa, to support and promote the success, wellness, and personal growth of international students through expert advising, intercultural programming, and advocacy. We believe that all students should have the opportunity to pursue a global experience. We also recognize the challenges that many diverse and underrepresented students face when considering education abroad. Challenges such as limited finances, lack of information, minimum support and fear of discrimination. These barriers, whether real or perceived, can cause students to count themselves out before the journey even begins. Our goal is to help change that narrative.

We are determined to be proactive through the resources we provide. We are committed to increasing scholarship opportunities, to be more intentional in our marketing and outreach, to offer supportive advising sessions and to design inclusive programs that will make international education accessible to students from all backgrounds. Our hope is to foster a sense of empowerment and help diverse and underrepresented students firmly establish a position in the world as global citizens.
