Saint Louis University Invests $1 Million in Aid for International Students

Saint Louis University has announced that it will provide $1 million in new institutional aid to international students for the 2011-2012 academic year. The University currently educates students from more than 80 different countries and is exploring new educational partnerships in
China and India.

"As we continue to recruit students from around the world, it is important that we remember that many of them face the same financial realities as our American students," said University President Lawrence Biondi, S.J. "This investment not only reflects our strong commitment to
our international students, but also our rising status as a global institution. "

Saint Louis University is enhancing its support of international students in other ways as well. The University recently completed a new Center for Global Citizenship, which brings SLU's internationally focused academic programs and support services under one roof. The center also features a 1,000-square- foot student lounge, state-of-the- art conference rooms with global teleconferencing capabilities and a classroom dedicated to supporting international teaching.

USA: Cedar Crest College Welcomes International Students

There is no fee to apply to Cedar Crest College, and all international students who apply are considered for scholarships!

Cedar Crest, which was recently named one of the top 10 women's colleges in the U.S. by Forbes magazine, has many outstanding academic programs and is especially strong in biological sciences, nursing, and forensic science. Our traditional undergraduate program (for students right out of high school) is reserved for women, but we also accept men for our graduate programs and for our life-long learning programs (for students beyond the regular college age).

Cedar Crest also offers many advantages beyond the obvious academic ones. We specialize in educating women to be global leaders. Also, our campus, a nationally registered arboretum, is beautifully situated on a ridge in the prestigious West End of Allentown, only an hour from
Philadelphia and 90 minutes from New York. We offer a very safe, healthy and convenient environment for students. Our 11:1 student-faculty ratio means that students here get lots of individual attention and guidance in their studies. The presence of several other colleges and
universities in the area means that there are also good possibilities to take courses at other schools and to take advantage of other opportunities offered by the rich academic environment in the Lehigh Valley.

USA: Scholarship at Yale

This September, we have a class of 1307 students joining Yale community as first-years. Approximately 10% of them are non-US citizens from across the globe and 3% are US citizens schooled abroad.

*Office of International Students and Scholars*
Yale's Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) works to assist any and all international students on campus. Whether serving a resource on immigration matters or picking up students from nearby airports, the OISS makes transitioning to Yale's campus as simple as possible. For more information, please visit www.yale.edu/oiss.

In addition, the OISS organizes the Orientation for International Students (OIS), a four-day orientation program designed to introduce new international students to Yale and to the city of New Haven. Ledby international Yale College students, the program includes activities such as:

* Taking Care of Business-setting up a US Bank Account, mailbox, and cell phone
* International Talent Show-a chance for international students to show off their hidden talents
* Shopping Trip-a shopping excur¬sion to purchase any items necessary for new dorms
* An Afternoon at the Beach-a trip to Lighthouse Point Park, New Haven's very own beach area

*Financial Aid*
Yale College admits students on the basis of academic and personal promise, without regard for their ability to pay. For all applicants (regardless of citizenship! ) Yale practices need-blind admissions. This means that the submission of a financial aid application has no bearing on the Admission Committee's decision. Furthermore, Yale meets 100% of a student's demonstrated financial need for all four years of
study, through grants (scholarship/ gift aid) and stu¬dent term-time employment (on-campus jobs starting at $11.50 US/hr). Yale's financial aid assessment is purely need-based - no athletic or merit scholarships are awarded as is the case with all institutions in the Ivy League. With an estimated $95 million dedicated towards financial aid, a Yale education should be affordable for any student.

As travel expenses can be quite costly, Yale also awards a vacation allowance to international students on financial aid, meaning that traveling home at least once a year is possible for students aroundthe world. Information about financial aid can be found at www.yale.edu/admit/freshman/financial_aid. To download specific financial aid forms (includ¬ing those for international applicants), please visit http://www.yale.edu/sfas/finaid/prospective-students.

in New Haven.

Established in 1831, Wesleyan has a long tradition of sustaining a remarkably diverse, lively community of learning. Located in Middletown, Connecticut (pop. 45,000), Wesleyan is two hours from New
York City and two hours from Boston, situated in New England along the Connecticut River midway between Hartford and New Haven.

Wesleyan's Office of International Student Affairs (www.wesleyan.edu/oisa) offers many services and programs to support the international student population including advice on personal and cultural matters, assistance with visas, insurance, careers planning,
and academic expectations.

The average financial aid offered to international students is $44,600 (Source: Peterson's Applying to Colleges and Universities in the United States 20th edition).

USA: Undergrad Opportunities at SUNY Plattsburgh

It's a little-known fact that all international students accepted to the State University of New York - Plattsburgh receive a scholarship. That's how much we value the contributions that international students make to our campus community.

The monetary value of each scholarship package will vary from $2,500 to $10,500 depending on the following factors: applicant's country of residency, previous academic achievement, and applicant type (freshman or transfer).

For the 2009-2010 academic year, we predict that billed cost of attendance (including tuition, mandatory fees, room, and board) for international students will be approximately $22,500. Therefore, the actual billed cost for an accepted international student should be between $12,000 and $20,000 per year. To determine the estimated award for an individual applicant, try our new scholarship calculator:
https://banweb. cc.plattsburgh. edu/pls/banprd/ international. scholarships

Our scholarship package is one of the many reasons why SUNY – Plattsburgh was recently named one of the "100 best values" among public universities in the United States by "Kiplinger's Personal Finance" magazine. For more information, please feel free to contact me anytime.

USA: Full Tuition Scholarships for International Students at Berea College

Berea College is the only school in the United States that pays 100% of tuition for 100% of enrolled international students.

I know it is hard to believe, but the truth is that Berea College awards admission and a four-year tuition scholarship (valued at over $23,000) to 30 international students every year. Ranked among the top private colleges in the United States, Berea College is committed to serving students with great academic promise whose family financial resources will not otherwise permit access to an academic program of such high distinction.

Admission is competitive. Each year we receive over 500 international applications for admission and scholarship. We rarely admit more than one student annually from the same country and almost never offer admission to someone who has already begun their studies at another university. The most competitive candidates demonstrate exemplary academic performance and considerable financial need as compared to their peers.

Berea College has approximately 1,500 students, 120 of whom come from outside of the U.S. Our student body is comprised of students from 70 nations. Each student, professor and staff member contributes to a = dynamic, exciting and progressive learning environment. All Berea students work on campus, in a job of their choosing after the first year, as a part of the educational program. Presently, 100% of the international students graduate from Berea within five years.

Founded in 1855 with a mission to serve talented, underprivileged students, Berea College practices an inclusive Christian tradition which is expressed by the diversity of religious, ethnic, and cultural identities represented in our student body. Berea's beautiful campus is located in Berea, Kentucky, where many people are interested in and supportive of international students.

With limited space, our goal each year is to enroll 30 of the brightest and poorest new students from impoverished or war-torn areas around the world. Please help us reach the most deserving students in your country by recommending that they visit our website at:
