Competitive College Club (CCC)
About Competitive College Club (CCC)
Belarus Competitive College Club (CCC) is a virtual preparatory program for high school students from Belarus interested in pursuing higher education (undergraduate level) in the United States.
Belarus Competitive College Club (CCC) requires a time commitment of one to two hours per week and is intended to allow students the flexibility to balance external commitments while participating in the program. All activities are conducted virtually and mainly consist of group webinars, individual consultations, individual work, readings and communication with other students in the program.
Participating students will gain knowledge about the U.S. admissions process as they build college-level academic skills. They will also have opportunities to engage virtually with current international and/or U.S. students and develop a better understanding of the strength and diversity of the U.S. higher education system.

Participation is free for admitted students. Throughout the program students may receive resources for standardized test preparation, including the opportunity to take the Duolingo English Language test for free, among other benefits.
