Financial AID

Financial Aids to Foreign Students in the USA

A US education is very expensive. Tuition, room and board at an undergraduate institution will cost from $15,000 to $40,000 a year, depending on the school. A graduate education can be even more expensive.

Financial aid to undergraduate students is generally given on consideration of students
academic merit, financial need, exceptionally brilliant talent, etc. While the situation is somewhat better for applicants to graduate (Master's and Ph.D.) programmes, the competition is very stiff. Very few institutions will have financial aid opportunities for M.B.A. Programmes, though, aid is generally available for highly qualified students applying for doctoral courses.
Universities usually offer graduate level financial assistance in three forms: Fellowships, teaching and/ or research assistantships; and full assistance, American universities consider the result of examinations during studies in India, the scores of the objective tests, recommendations from teachers / employers and last but not the least, personal essays helps your chances of getting financial aid if you are able to send your completed application and financial aid forms early.

Engineers research and develop solutions to technical problems by applying the theories and principles of science and mathematics. Engineers can work in laboratories, industrial plants or construction sites where they inspect supervise or solve on-site problems and various other fields. There are specialized branches in engineering. Engineers in each branch have knowledge and training that can be applied to many fields because there are numerous separate problems to solve in a large engineering project, engineers in one field often work closely with specialists in scientific, other engineering and business occupations. A degree in Engineering is an excellent study opportunity combined with equally good career prospects.

Medical Education in USA

Medical Colleges and Universities in the USA

In the US medicine is taught only at the postgraduate level after an undergraduate university education. You cannot apply to US medical schools after completing A levels or Scottish Highers. You must first complete an undergraduate degree.Medical education in the US is generally considerably longer than medical education in the UK. Four years of undergraduate study (pre-medical education) are followed by four years of medical school, then three to seven years of residency training. Upon successful completion of the four-year medical school curriculum and exams, the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree is conferred. The entire process can take anywhere from 11 to 15 years. Due to educational, cultural and language differences, many US medical schools encourage international applicants to enrol for at least one year of undergraduate coursework at a regionally-accredited American university prior to starting the MD programme. Contact medical schools directly to find out what they recommend.

Graduate Study Programs in the USA

Graduate Study Program
Graduate education in the United States will almost certainly be different from the system offered in your country. This section gives you an introduction to the graduate degrees available in the United States, the different types of institutions that exist, and some key terms and ideas you will come across if you want to study at a U.S. university.
Graduate DegreesThere are two major types of graduate degrees - the master's degree and the doctoral degree. This section explains the difference between the two and the requirements for each.

The two graduate degrees offered in the United States are the master's degree and the doctoral degree; both involve a combination of research and coursework. Graduate education differs from undergraduate education in that it offers a greater depth of training, with increased specialization and intensity of instruction. Study and learning are more self-directed at the graduate level than at the undergraduate level.

Graduate courses assume that students are well-prepared in the basic elements of their field of study. Depending on the subject, courses may be quite formal, consisting primarily of lecture presentations by faculty members, or they may be relatively informal, placing emphasis on discussion and exchange of ideas among faculty and students. Seminars involve smaller groups of students than lecture courses, and students may be required to make presentations as well as participate in discussions. Class participation, research papers, and examinations are all important.

Degree requirements are stated in terms of "credits" (sometimes called "units" or "hours"), and each course usually earns three or four credits, generally reflecting the number of hours spent in the classroom and the amount of other work involved. A student will usually accumulate up to 48 credits per academic year if the university operates on a traditional two-semester system.
Master's DegreesThe master's degree is designed to provide additional education or training in the student's specialized branch of knowledge, well beyond the level of baccalaureate study. Master's degrees are offered in many different fields, and there are two main types of programs: academic and professional.

This section gives you an introduction to the degrees available in the United States, the different types of institutions, and some key terms and ideas you will come across if you want to study at a U.S. university or college.

Types of InstitutionsThe United States offers a wide variety of higher education institutions. This section explains the difference between them.
Colleges, Universities, and Institutes: The Distinction Degree-granting institutions in the United States can be called by any of these terms, and colleges and institutes are in no way inferior to universities. As a general rule, colleges tend to be smaller and usually offer only undergraduate degrees, while a university also offers graduate degrees. The words "school," "college," and "university" will be used interchangeably throughout this booklet. An institute usually specializes in degree programs in a group of closely related subject areas, so you will also come across degree programs offered at institutes of technology, institutes of fashion, institutes of art and design, and so on.

Within each college or university you will find schools, such as the school of arts and sciences or the school of business. Each school is responsible for the degree programs offered by the college or university in that area of study.

Accommodation for Students

Accommodation for International Students in the United States of America (USA )

There are a number of options when it comes to deciding where you will live when you are living and studying in the United States.On-campus dormitoriesOnce you are enrolled in a U.S. school, the Admissions Department or International Student Office will most likely send you a "pre-departure orientation" packet. Options for where to live are generally included in this information.Some American schools offer accommodations for international students on-campus, or near the school's classrooms, libraries and other facilities. "Dormitories" are buildings with many rooms for sleeping and living, often with two or three people (of the same gender) per room. Dormitory residents typically share large bathrooms which include showers and toilets. Many first-year students prefer to live in on-campus dormitories because they are convenient to both academic and social activities. Another advantage is that it is not likely that you will not need a car to commute to campus.

Free money: Scholarships, financial aid and other monetary sources
Scholarships
Very few U.S. colleges or universities are able to offer financial aid to international students, so it is critical for you and your family to be responsible for all of your education, personal housing and food needs. Those scholarships that are issued only cover a small portion of the total amount necessary for an academic year in the U.S.A.

You can write the school of your choice to ask for a scholarship consideration form, but please check first with your family, government, home institution, and any other organizations you belong to as a source for funding your studies. Consider working extra hours while still in your home country, before visa restrictions in the U.S. reduce the number of hours you are able to work.
Loans
Loans can make it possible for you to study in the U.S.A. There are certain types of loans which are available to international students. Compare interest rates and terms at several different financial institutions to find the best deal. In order to keep a handle on your expenses, it is best to use a loan for a maximum of 35% of your total costs.

Academic year in US Colleges and Universities

For Under Graduate Program
The academic year will be slightly different for each university or college but normally runs from early September to the end of May. It may be divided into two terms of 18 weeks called semesters. Alternatively, the university may have "quarters" or "trimesters," which are about 12 weeks in length. In addition, universities very often provide six- to eight-week summer terms. These are optional, and students attend if they wish to get through their degree faster, to decrease their course load during the regular terms, or to make up for courses not completed successfully during the regular academic year. There are at least two main holidays during the academic year: a two- to four-week break in the winter (December-January) and a one-week "spring break" sometime between early March and mid-April.
