OlympiadUSA is an international academic competition in Mathematics and English for students in Grades 3–12, bringing together participants from 40+ countries around the world. Students compete through online preliminary rounds before the top performers advance to the in-person Global Round held in the United States, where they take part in exams, workshops, talent shows and cultural experiences alongside peers from across the globe. Beyond the competition itself, OlympiadUSA connects high-achieving students with scholarship opportunities at universities in the United States, opening doors to their next academic chapter.

Top-performing students are connected with scholarship opportunities at universities in the USA
Each year, OlympiadUSA welcomes students from dozens of countries, creating a diverse international community united by curiosity and a passion for learning. Friendships and academic connections formed during the Global Round often extend far beyond competition week.
Top performers are celebrated with medals and awards at the Global Round closing ceremony, and high-achieving students may be introduced to scholarship pathways at partner universities in the United States — turning competition success into future academic opportunity.
The Global Round is more than a test — it includes workshops, cultural activities, and guided experiences in the host city, giving students a well-rounded, memorable trip to the United States alongside their academic achievement.
