Study in the USA: Scholarships and Your Student Visa
The US is the premier destination for international students from all over the world and the first choice for most parents. With over 700,000 foreign students last year according to the Institute of International Education (IIE), the US hosts more international students than any other country in the world. These international students, coming from nearly every country in the world, choose to study in the US because they believe that an American education affords them the best preparation for their future. And many of them receive financial assistance!
If you are a parent interested in giving your child the best possible future, America is one of your best options. US universities dominate world rankings for quality and excellence. The most recent Times Higher Education World University Rankings indicate that 4 of the world’s Top 5 universities are American – an astounding 80%. Further, 14 of the Top 20 are American – a stunning 70%. The “education DNA” that has resulted in such high rankings is present throughout American Higher Education. Since the American system offers direct university entry options for both O/Level and A/Level students, students and parents can choose the option that best suits them and their future plans.
In addition to excellence, America offers international students the most exciting, rewarding and comprehensive array of study options in the world. International students who choose to study in the US have almost unlimited choices. Furthermore, international students who successfully complete their degrees in the USA are highly sought-after by employers worldwide.
Education, particularly an American university education, is undoubtedly the best investment parents can make for their children and themselves. Nonetheless, getting the money together for the university investment can be a challenge, but may not be as difficult as many imagine. There are many different options open to parents and students these days to help “balance the budget”, including scholarships, loans and financial assistance, sponsorships, supplementary programmes such as graduate teaching assistantships, part-time employment, and others. The right advice and planning can help reduce the investment required for a quality education by up to 75%. Combine this with even a partial scholarship and an international American education with all the benefits it brings is open to a wide range of families.
The presentation “Study in the USA: Scholarships and Your Student Visa” focuses on Scholarships and how to reduce your education investment as well as other important aspects of studying in the US like the Student Visa process. There are millions of dollars in scholarships available every year at most of America’s nearly 4,000 universities and colleges, but the competition is fierce. How do you successfully compete for a scholarship? With the right advice even an average student can gain thousands of dollars in aid.
