This report examines the needs and resources of educational counseling centers in Brazil that advise individuals about opportunities for undergraduate and graduate education in the United States. A survey of nine counseling offices run by the U.S. International Communication Agency (USICA), U.S. consulates, and American-Brazilian binational educational organizations found that there were over 1,000 requests per month for information and counseling about American colleges and universities. Resources for counseling, including college guides, catalogs, and trained personnel, were found to be unevenly distributed among the offices. The report recommends that a basic collection of reference and orientation materials on American higher education be acquired by all offices, and that maintenance of these collections and systematic communication among the counseling offices occur through a centralized office in Rio de Janeiro. The report also recommends that continuing personnel training occur through periodic national counseling conferences. Four appendixes contain copies of the counseling resources survey and results, personnel and location of counseling offices in Brazil, a list of individuals consulted for the report, and a list of basic materials for counseling offices.
