Ethio College Prep (ECP) is a specialist Addis Ababa consultancy dedicated to helping Ethiopian high school students prepare for and gain admission to universities in the USA and Canada. Unlike generalist agencies, ECP focuses exclusively on the US/Canada college application process — covering the Common App, personal essay writing, activity list preparation, recommendation letter strategy, SAT preparation, and financial aid applications. The agency is run by founders who themselves gained admission to US universities from Ethiopia, giving them firsthand knowledge of the exact challenges Ethiopian applicants face. ECP is located at Bole, Wollo Sefer, Garad City Center, Tower B, 11th floor. Their flagship Scholarbridge Program provides mentorship and scholarship coaching to high-potential students.

How Ethio College Prep get paid
Free for students
Ethio College Prep does not charge students a placement fee. Like most education agents, it is paid a commission by the universities it places students into. That does not make its advice bad — but the agent is paid by the institution, not by you, so it has more financial reason to recommend a partner university than a non-partner one. Ask which universities it represents, and whether your shortlist is on that list.

Ethio College Prep helped me with my application to UK. The team was well-organised — they set up a timeline at the start and mostly stuck to it. Document checks were thorough, which gave me confidence before submission. I did need to follow up a couple of times for status updates, but the end result was a successful application. Would recommend to anyone planning to study in UK.
