Brazilian student mobility to North America

Overview

Brazilian interest in international education is increasing, particularly regarding programs in North America. Reports indicate a surge in high school exchange programs, with Brazil ranking tenth among countries sending students to the United States. Data from the Brazilian Association of Exchange Agencies shows that approximately 31% of Brazilian exchange students choose Canada, while 26% select the United States.

This trend extends into higher education, where nearly 17,000 Brazilian students are enrolled in U.S. institutions. Undergraduate programs account for about half of these enrollments. Experts note that families are planning earlier to manage the significant costs of American degrees, which can range from US$ 30,000 to over US$ 90,000 annually. Educational specialists suggest that long-term preparation is a more critical factor for families than immediate wealth when managing these investments.
