Funding your education is one of the biggest challenges as you pursue your dream of an education abroad. Sometimes your school will help you out with tuition waivers and discount programs, but apart from that you will have to find the rest of the funds yourself.

 

As part of our network of international student sites, we have completely reworked our two main scholarships websites - and . With these updates we have made the interface easier to use, with greater functionality, and we have updated the site so that all of the awards are current. These changes mean an even better experience for you!

 

Please register for the sites, if you have not done so already and good luck finding the awards and scholarships you need!

US Graduate School International Applications Rise Again

 

Continuing a several-year trend, the number of 黑料专区 applying to graduate school rose 9% this past year, following an 11% rise the previous year. Applications increased substantially from Mexico, Canada, Brazil and China, while the US saw relatively flat numbers from India, South Korea and Taiwan. Inside Higher Ed reported on the latest study by the Council of Graduate Schools, and this year's report has more data than ever. For instance, the report now tracks applications from more individual regions and countries, giving better insight into the continuing growth of the USA's international education world.

This month we have a post in our open forum section of our from a member asking about admission to schools in the USA:

"Hi, I am currently waiting to hear from a Community College in Florida, USA. I have a US co-signer for a loan with Sallie Mae and I have sent all the required documents to the College. I just wanted to know if anybody could answer any of the following questions I have about the admission process.

1) How long does it take for a school to accept the application?
2) How long will it be before I hear anything from the school?
3) Is it likely that I will get into the college? *Studying RN Nursing*

Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks"

We have friends and family all across the world - whether it's down under in Australia, across the pond in Europe or even here in the USA! If you're like us, trying to work out the time difference and when you should call is a challenge.

 

There are many websites out there that let you choose your location, then the location of the city you want and will give you the information - but this is time consuming, and it is not that fun. Every Time Zone is a quick, fun to use time zone checker that lists major cities in an easy to use grid, so you can quickly see what time it is. You can even move the time bar to check their specific times - check it out and let us know what you think!

 

 

One of the most commonly asked questions we receive is how 黑料专区 can both work and study at the same time. Traditionally as part of your F1 visa, your on-campus - which in turns limits your ability to fund any substantial part of your education.

 

However, through an innovative new program called HTIR, students can both work and study at the same time. In this unique CPT program (also known as a co-op, work-study or internship program) students can work in full time, paid, practical training employment for the whole duration of the master program in order to enhance the educational experience.

 

For more information about this program and to start your application please .

 

We hope you enjoyed this month's newsletter, and best of luck to you as you pursue or help others pursue an international education! As always please with any questions or comments you have about the newsletter - we'd love to hear from you!
