FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: Do any AmeriStudy universities offer scholarships for international students?
A: Several of our universities offer sizable discount to international students. These may be seen in the cost section of the profile page for each school: AmeriStudy Universities and Colleges
Additional financial aid may be requested during the application process. While many large state universities charge more for international student tuition, many of our universities are offering special incentives to attract more international students.
Q: Are there additional scholarships for international students to apply for other than from the school I am applying to?
A: Of the few private scholarships for international students, most require that you apply from your home country. If you are already in the US you might not be eligible. So you should search for financial aid before you arrive in the US.
Some international organizations offer funding for graduate students to study in the US. These include the United Nations, the Organization of American States (OAS), AMIDEAST, the International Maritime Organization, the International Telecommunications Union, the League of Red Cross Societies, the Soros Foundation, the World Health Organization, and the World Council of Churches.

Q: Where can I see the academic courses being offered?
A: As you “Explore” our participating universities, each profile page has a link to a page showing all academic majors.
Q: What is the advantage for applying through AmeriStudy rather than directly to one of your universities?

Each of the AmeriStudy “best-fit” universities that you have reviewed under “EXPLORE” and possibly selected from, requires an online application process.
Q: Is there a cost for this service?
