_______________________________________________________________________________

Increase your student enrolments from Sweden by participating in this Bluechip Study USA event in 2025. This event falls in right after ICEF Secondary Education (Paris 9/24 – 9/26) and right before NABSW (London 10/3 – 10/5).

Quick facts and info on the event
At this event we will visit high schools in Stockholm, Linköping, Nyköping and Gothenburg during the week and we will also be hosting two evening Open-Houses. It is a great opportunity and a  very popular event as it is a great opportunity to recruit students for future intakes.

Why Bluechip events?

  • Size: Our events/fairs are small. Maximum number of participating schools is 7. This gives a lot of attention to each participating school from visiting students.
  • Focus: Bluechip only works with US institutions and is the most established and well known company for this in all of Scandinavia.
  • Experience: Bluechip have been working with the USA and organizing events and fairs for the past 33 years.
  • Student Quality: Students from Sweden are very mature and good students with a very high command of the English language.
  • School Quality: At each event we only visit the best/top high schools in each city.

Over the past 33 years Bluechip have been helping Swedish students study abroad, and since 2005 have focused solely on sending students to study in the United States through our company Bluechip – Study USA. Bluechip is known for being the leading U.S. specialist in Scandinavia.

We have in the past years seen a growing interest in Swedish students wanting to go to a good private/boarding school in the US. We have seen an increase in this as families are looking for better alternatives for their childrens education as the Scandinavian school system has fallen behind in many ways the last decade.
