Preface
A person, who is possessed of supreme knowledge controls the senses with concentration & awareness,
like spirited steeds controlled by a charioteer. Importance of education was observed from the ancient
and historical days all over the world. There used to be Gurukul, the school established by Saints in the
forest. One of the three segments of the life, the childhood used to be dedicated for learning, earning
knowledge and acquiring the skills so that rest of the life becomes enjoyable and happy not only for
oneself but for the living kind. Education helps an individual to be able so as to contribute for the well
being of the society across globe.
It is well known that person keeps learning throughout the life, during childhood till old age. Learning
based on studying the basic, then acquiring skills and later knowledge. Management of study is a science
to be learnt as well as an art to be practiced. Methodology of study varies from individual. Planning for
the study also plays extremely important role as well. There is so much to study so priorities and
utilization of the time appropriately becomes of vital importance.
It is important to understand own personality, liking and aspirations. It is to know what you would like
to do throughout life without frustrating, without bothering about money and without tiring. Out of
hundreds of choices it is critical to select the right one, compatible to yourself.
Education is the fundamental right for everyone. Considering this noble principle, several institutes and
trusts have been supporting & sponsoring the education for the needy via scholarships & interest free
loans. In the era of information technology one can reach to the detailed information however
consolidation of such information is extremely useful.
The total configuration of ideals, practices, and conduct is called Dharma (Religion, Virtue or Duty). To
live contended life is said to be a challenge. It’s a race. Many are struggling to find a rightful solution,
how do you handle it? Few say it is complex but who makes it complex? There are few fundamental
principles guide to live life peacefully, happy, enjoyable and useful. If one implements those religiously
then surely life becomes too simple to live & extremely happy as well
This book is an attempt to share important tips and information for all above. Surely it would be useful
guide. I request you to try deeply understanding & implementing the same. Higher education is the base
to built wonderful career. I wish you all the best for your education, career and further life.

Section – 1 - Education & Career guidance
How to study
Following is the proven methodology to study & is highly recommended, in particular for the subjects
like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Accounting, etc. It is suggested to have complete set of
study material like text books, reference guides, notes from class and tuition, ideal answer sheets &
question set of previous examinations, good quality paper or un-used note book handy. It is also
essential to have a fresh mood, peaceful environment, happy & motivated mind, good infrastructure like
table-chair, pen, compass, good intensity of light, etc. Now let us begin.
1. Let us define a unit of study. It can be like a paragraph or a topic or a page or a chapter of a book.
As suiting to your ability and complexity of the subject, please choose the unit for study.

2. Read the complete content from entire study material. Understand its concept and grasp it
fundamentally. At this point you have read content from various study material thus you know
the best and whole of the content. This is a union set of the entire content which you have read.
3. Write important points on a good sheet of paper. Also remember formulae by heart. Use rough
paper to practice formulae. Conserve these working sheets.
4. Practice by writing the entire content as if you are writing in examination. Check if you could write
more than 70% of the entire content. It should be as high as possible. Also check that you have
not missed any important point.
5. Practice this till you are satisfied. Then read the entire content once again.
6. Now move on to next unit of study. Thus keep repeating till closure of the chapter.
7. Now solve the exercises or questions or problems given at the end of the chapter. Conserve the
note books or sheets by filing those appropriately. While solving problem/exercise/question write
the chapter number, problem/exercise/question number correctly so that during study of final
examination you will be able to locate those quickly.
8. Try to solve the problem/exercise/question of last question papers. Compare your answer with
answer in answer-sheets. Check the possible areas of improvement and practice to follow the
best of the standards.
Importance of time and preparing time table
You must have heard that Time is money! It’s extremely important to understand the value of the time.
To realise the value of Time of
 1 Year – Ask a student who has failed in examination
 1 Month – Ask a mother who has delivered premature baby in 8
th
month
 1 Week – Ask an editor who has to publish a weekly magazine
 1 Day – Ask a daily wager heading family of eight & feed them on daily basis
 1 Hour – Ask a lover who is waiting to meet
 1 Minute – Ask a person who has missed a train by just a minute
 1 Second – Ask a person who has survived an accident just by a second alert
 1 milli-Second – Ask a runner who won the Gold medal by a milli-second
Time waits for no one, treasure every moment you have, conserve & utilise every second. If you do not
respect your time, who will? Please remember that time once elapsed, never comes back again. There
lies an importance of disciplined life. Discipline comes from planning various activities for every day and
every hour of the day and executing those as planned. The best way is to prepare a time table and
follow religiously. There are two kind of time table. A. during school day & B. during holiday
Let us prepare time table studying the sample time table as below for a day of school. Feel free to
modify start – end time of any activity as needed at your convenience, liking and habit. E.g. few of you
may want to start study during early hours of a day say at 4:0 am so sleeping during 10:0 pm to 4:0 am
or few may want to study till little late say till 2:0 am so modify sleeping hours at your convenience.

parents to follow as closely. Please modify little bit if needed but be determined to follow it strictly.
Remember your determination will make you different!

Also it is proved that if you help solving queries for your friends, you will be more hands-on and clear
about the subject and content. So utilize free time to help your friends
Teacher’s section
Following topics like understanding volume of study & calculating availability of the time are the best
determined by the teachers. Most of the data generally remains the same like various books, note
books, their pages, problems in each chapter, etc. Also no. of days for the school and holidays are better
known to the teachers. Thus it is suggested that teachers to prepare the base data and handover to the
students. Also following tables to be prepared using Microsoft product – Excel.
How to understand volume of study
Now a day there is a flood of study material like text books, guides from various publications, notes
given by tuition classes, etc. It is important to understand the volume of study and to calculate how
much average time would be needed to study entire syllabus in planned manner.
Let us try to calculate total volume of study and on an average how much time would be required.
Assume that
 Average time required to study a page in hours = 15 minutes (0.25 hours)
 Average time required to solve a problem in hours = 12 minutes (0.2 hours)

Total hours required for study and problem solving in Hours 543

Prepare a table listing the subjects, no of pages & problems in each book like text book, guide, tution
note, etc. Add up no of pages and problems and multiply by unit time. Thus you will get no of hours
needed to study the total pages and to solve the problems per subject. Sum up the time needed for
studying all the subjects to know the entire time requirement.
* - Please note that above is sample calculation. Each student needs to fill-in the complete details and
determine total time required for study & problem solving. It depends on his or her aptitude, knowledge
and subject complexity & varies from student to student.
How to calculate availability of time for the student
It is good to know for the teachers and student how many hours are available for studying at home for
the entire duration of the academic year. Let us assume
 No of hours available for self study when school is there – 8 hours per day
 No of hours available for self study when school/ college has holiday – 14 hours per day

Prepare a table listing all the months, and no. of days with & without college. Multiply the days & no. of
study hours per day to calculate no of total hours available. Thus from above Tables, teachers &
students will be able to judge if there is sufficient time available for the study. This will help to plan the
study matching to the hours available.
Please note that above tables are sample and each student needs to prepare these tables. Students are
requested to seek guidance from parents and teachers for accurate calculation and allocation of time to
each subject.
Tracking the completion of study
Appeal to parents – It is a special request to all parents to offer quality time and useful guidance and
encouraging to the child for study. Following table suggests how to track the completion of study by the
student& understand the status periodically. If there is lag, kindly guide without pressuring to catch up
the portion of study. This is to be tracked from the beginning for every week or at least fortnightly.

Planning of study for examination
You have put in sincere efforts and studied well throughout the year. Now examination dates are
declared. Let us prepare a schedule of study for examination. We will plan for four revisions. Let us use
Microsoft Excel to prepare a schedule as below.

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

Planning for study for examination
Month
Study from examination point of views Revision Exam days
# Subject 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
1 Subject-1
2 Subject-2
3 Subject-3
4 Subject-4

You can plan this once examination dates are declared.
Procedure to prepare a schedule
1. In the column “subject”, mention various subjects in reverse order of examination. i.e.
examination of last subject enter as # 1, and so on.
2. Prepare a calendar marking the dates from today till last date of examination mentioning the
dates in each cell (e.g. from 1
st
till 28
th
in above calendar)
3. Mark the subject wise examination calendar at the end of calendar
4. Mark in exactly reverse manner & assign one day to each subject for the revision, starting from
just one day prior to first paper in reverse manner thus forming a “V” curve.
5. Then assign 3 to 6 days for each subject based on volume & complexity of the subject, how much
you already have studied, etc in reverse manner.
6. Mark one day out of these 3 – 6 days for a revision and other study (studying answer sheets,
earlier question set, etc)
7. Check if the first day of planning is earlier than today. In that case you have to reduce no. of days
allocated to each subject.
8. Check if the first day of planning is later than today, then you have to assign few more days to
couple of subjects.
9. Please include practical examination and at least 1-2 days for study for the same.
10. Thus you will have atleast 3 revisions of the subject as follow
a. First revision when you study subject at stretch, you have reserve 1 day for revision
b. Second revision just prior the start of examination for a day, V shape, left line
c. Third revision is between the hours after you come home from the examination paper and go to
examination of next subject on second day, you get almost 14-16 hours for study. (out 24
hours minus 6-7 hours of sleep minus 2 hours of lunch, dinner, getting ready, travelling,
discussions, etc)
Precautions
1. Note that you have noted the examination time table accurately. Recheck yourself and verify
from your friend.
2. You have sound sleep during examination. Keep cool & happy mood, learn to control the
thoughts.
3. Do not think about performance in past examination, just concentrate the paper on next day

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

13

4. Do not discourage friends with unwanted discussions like status of your study, how hard is the
subject you are feeling, which mistakes you made in earlier examination, how does future looks
like, etc
5. If any of the friend discouraging you, please request your friend firmly not to do so. If he or she
continues to do so, convey to stop talking with you.
6. Please make a check list and verify before starting from home like Identity card, Good quality of
pen, pencil, erase, compass box, relevant books & note books, wallet, etc
7. Offer smile and wish the best to friends. Eaze out tension at last moment.
8. Relax before exam for at least 10 -15 minutes. Have confidence in your own abilities & hard
work. You have studied so well, nothing will stop you to perform the best. Do not worry.
How to choose career and compatible education
It is a famous quote of Stephen Covey’s Habit #2 - Begin with the End in mind!
Let us understand the thought process selecting / deciding the career & compatible education. You need
to do appropriate & accurate planning to decide both career as well as education. There is a saying “If
you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. So let us begin to plan our education & career.
While deciding appropriate career suitable you need to consider following high level factors
1. Self –
 Ability - Academic performance, Skills, attitude, personality and ability to manage rapid
changes. Please review academic performance since last 5 years, preferably from 8
th
standard.
 Aptitude is an learned or developed competency to do a certain kind of work at a certain level
 Interest – you much have interest in related field.
 Personality – Hobbies, Health and Habits will help you to determine the right career.
 Motivation – Are you motivated to make the said career?
2. Surrounding - Influences of attributes of friends, peers, parents, relatives and role models
3. Globe - Market trends, Existing and rapidly changing opportunities and managing cross culture
Choose the career option with “come what may” attitude, feeling and challenge.
You need to really study your personality, each of the attribute while considering various career options.
Following table will be helpful to you to analyse.

e.g. if Emotional quotient is poor then career like air hostess or If physics & body weight is much lesser
than expected then career in military or like astronaut will be a challenge

There is a scientific method evolved to rate the attribute and career options. Following sample table
illustrates the same. You may want to add more variables and need to fill in the fields.

vision, strategy, and executing those, leadership, etc
Conventional - Practical, Organizing Things like grocery, cloth merchants, etc
Thus while selecting appropriate career you need to consider following cycle

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

16

1. Know your abilities, attributes and aspirations
2. Know the skills, are you prepared to upgrade & enhance those? Your potential can be turned to
the performance.
3. Know your style
4. Know your family, their support, influence, etc
5. Your value system and upbringing
6. Then set the goal and re-evaluate the options
You must know that career building is a path which you need to walk with patience, keep achieving
milestones one after another. Following “9 P” keeps it going. You may not run but do not stop.


Tips for wonderful career
1. Remember the quotes by former president of India, Dr. Abdul Kalam “Dream is not what you see
in sleep. It is something that does not let you sleep!”
2. Try to select a career in such a way that you set to be unique & differentiate from the crowd. E.g.
If you are programmer or software engineer, you might be one of few lacs students graduating
every year. If you are post graduate engineer say M.Tech or MS, you will be within very few
thousands. Further if you know any foreign language say Japanese, you will be among just among
few hundred students. Thus you are one where there is a high demand and fewer resources like
you are available. Obviously you will have a huge respect and demand.
3. Aiming low is a crime!
4. You are what you believe!
5. Seek education compatible to career choice you have selected or decided, aim for the highest
technical education in your field, do the best.

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

17

6. Keep you wish extremely high, like what is quoted in Poem by La Manch
o To dream the impossible dream
o To fight the unbeatable foe,
o To bear the unbearable sorrow,
o To run where the brave dare not to go,
o To love the pure and chest from a far,
o To right the unforgivable wrong,
o To try when your arms are too weary,
o To reach that unreachable star,
o This is my quest to follow that star,
o No matter how place, no matter how far,
o To fight for the right, without questions without pause
o To be willing to march into hell for heavenly cause.
7. Always work with 2 plans, main Plan A which you will execute to 99.9% probability and fall back
plan B, in case for some unfortunate reason you could not attempt & execute plan A.
The education compatible to your career also can be evaluated following the similar method. You may
want to add more attributes.

skill enhancement is the most important aspect of todays competitive world. A skill enhancement is a
planned activity. Master training to be planned to improve the skills and abilities. Skill is like weight of
body, does not give you a feel of increasing / enhancement. Ratio of skill to age (duration of time) needs
to increase or at least stable during implementation phase and again should increase. Ratio remaining
constant is ok however it is an alert if it is decreasing. You need to invest in good books and attending
few classes with specific skill enhancement target, mostly for technical subjects.

About graduation in USA - About Bachelor’s degree course in USA
Bachelor's degrees in the United States are typically designed to be completed in four years of full-time
study, although some programs (such as engineering or architecture) usually take five, and some
universities and colleges allow ambitious students usually with the help of summer school, taking many
classes each semester, and/or who have existing credit from high school Advanced Placement course
exams, etc to complete them in as little as three years. Some U.S. colleges and universities have a

separate academic track known as an "honors" or "scholars" program, generally offered to the top
percentile of students (based on GPA), that offers more challenging courses or more individually
directed seminars or research projects in lieu of the standard core curriculum. Those students are
awarded the same bachelor's degree as students completing the standard curriculum.
Parents may need to consider if student is mature enough to deal with education overseas
immediately after higher secondary school at the age 17-18 years. The points like homesickness or
inculcation of likely bad habits to be thought about. Qualities of education and career opportunities
are better during graduation education at overseas. Education at early age allows an exposure to
overseas environment. When student go with lot of ambitions and dreams, he or she would stay
away from the bad habits except if unfortunately negatively influenced. Job opportunities are said to
be better for bachelors compared to masters. Students get continuous & longer exposure to the
educational systems & research followed by job opportunities.
Entrance test for qualifying graduation study - About SAT
The SAT is a standardized test for most college admissions in the United States. The SAT is owned,
published, and developed by the College Board, a nonprofit organization in the United States. It was
formerly developed, published, and scored by the Educational Testing Service which still administers the
exam. The test is intended to assess a student's readiness for college. It was first introduced in 1926, and
its name and scoring have changed several times. It was first called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, then
the Scholastic Assessment Test.
The current SAT Reasoning Test, introduced in 2005, takes three hours and forty-five minutes to finish,
and costs $50 ($81 International), excluding late fees. Possible scores range from 600 to 2400,
combining test results from three 800-point sections (Mathematics, Critical Reading, and Writing).
Taking the SAT or its competitor, the ACT, is required for freshman entry to many, but not all,
universities in the United States.
Function
The College Board states that SAT measures literacy and writing skills that are needed for academic
success in college. They state that the SAT assesses how well the test takers analyze and solve
problems—skills they learned in school that they will need in college. The SAT is typically taken by high
school sophomores, juniors and seniors. Specifically, the College Board states that use of the SAT in
combination with high school grade point average (GPA) provides a better indicator of success in college
than high school grades alone, as measured by college freshman GPA. Various studies conducted over
the lifetime of the SAT show a statistically significant increase in correlation of high school grades and
freshman grades when the SAT is factored in.
SAT (and ACT) scores are intended to supplement the secondary school record and help admission
officers put local data—such as course work, grades, and class rank—in a national perspective.
SAT has been more popular among colleges on the coasts and the ACT more popular in the Midwest and
South. There are some colleges that require the ACT to be taken for college course placement, and a few
schools that formerly did not accept the SAT at all. Nearly all colleges accept the test. While the exact
manner in which SAT scores will help to determine admission of a student at American institutions of
higher learning is generally a matter decided by the individual institution, some foreign countries like

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

India have made SAT (and ACT) scores a legal criterion in deciding whether holders of American high
school diplomas will be admitted at their public universities.
Structure
SAT consists of three major sections: Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing. Each section receives a
score on the scale of 200–800. All scores are multiples of 10. Total scores are calculated by adding up
scores of the three sections. Each major section is divided into three parts. There are 10 sub-sections,
including an additional 25-minute experimental or "equating" section that may be in any of the three
major sections. The experimental section is used to normalize questions for future administrations of
the SAT and does not count toward the final score. The test contains 3 hours and 45 minutes of actual
timed sections; most administrations (after including orientation, distribution of materials, completion
of biographical sections, and eleven minutes of timed breaks) run for about four and a half hours. The
questions range from easy, medium, and hard depending on the scoring from the experimental sections.
Easier questions typically appear closer to the beginning of the section while harder questions are
toward the end in certain sections. This is not true for every section (the Critical Reading section is in
chronological order) but it is the rule of thumb mainly for math and the 19 sentence completions on the
test.
SAT exam pattern
The SAT exam is designed to assess the skills of thinking and logical reasoning of the candidates. These
are the basic skills that you acquire in your schools, but are highly valued at the college level as well. The
purpose of conducting this exam is to evaluate students for their writing, reading as well as
mathematical skills.
The total duration of the exam is 3 hours and 45 minutes. The SAT exam is divided into SAT Reasoning
Test and SAT subject based Test. If you want to take admission in any US college on the basis of SAT
reasoning score, it is just not enough to secure a seat in US colleges. But on the other hand, some
colleges also consider the score of the subjects based exam. In most of the cases when we say SAT
exam, it meant to the SAT reasoning test.
SAT reasoning test:

Writing: This section has essay type question section and multiple choice type questions. The essay
section has allocated the time of 25 minutes.
Critical Reading: The critical reading section is divided into three sub-sections. The questions asked in
this section are based on either short passage reading or long passage reading. The questions are
multiple choice based questions. These questions generally evaluate a student's writing skills.
Mathematics: Mathematics section also consists of three sections. The total time allotted to this section
is 70 minutes.
Eligibility for SAT exam: Students can appear in this exam either after completion of their Class XII from
a recognised Indian university or education board or they can also take this test while studying in
ClassXII or Class XI. The students should keep college deadlines in mind while appearing in the exam. The
scores that are finally considered depends upon the fact that in which college you want to apply.
Students can reappear for the exam, but this action is not fruitful if higher scores are not expected.
Critical Reading
The Critical Reading (formerly Verbal) section of the SAT is made up of three scored sections: two 25-
minute sections and one 20-minute section, with varying types of questions, including sentence
completions and questions about short and long reading passages. Critical Reading sections normally
begin with 5 to 8 sentence completion questions; the remainder of the questions are focused on the
reading passages. Sentence completions generally test the student's vocabulary and understanding of
sentence structure and organization by requiring the student to select one or two words that best
complete a given sentence. The bulk of the Critical Reading section is made up of questions regarding
reading passages, in which students read short excerpts on social sciences, humanities, physical
sciences, or personal narratives and answer questions based on the passage. Certain sections contain
passages asking the student to compare two related passages; generally, these consist of shorter
reading passages. The number of questions about each passage is proportional to the length of the
passage. Unlike in the Mathematics section, where questions go in the order of difficulty, questions in
the Critical Reading section go in the order of the passage. Overall, question sets near the beginning of
the section are easier, and question sets near the end of the section are harder.
Mathematics
An example of a "grid in" mathematics question in which the answer should be written into the box
below the question.
The Mathematics section of the SAT is widely known as the Quantitative Section or Calculation Section.
The mathematics section consists of three scored sections. There are two 25-minute sections and one
20-minute section, as follows:
One of the 25-minute sections is entirely multiple choice, with 20 questions.
The other 25-minute section contains 8 multiple choice questions and 10 grid-in questions. For grid-in
questions, test-takers write the answer inside a grid on the answer sheet. Unlike multiple choice
questions, there is no penalty for incorrect answers on grid-in questions because the test-taker is not
limited to a few possible choices.
The 20-minute section is all multiple choice, with 16 questions.

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

The SAT has done away with quantitative comparison questions on the math section, leaving only
questions with symbolic or numerical answers.
New topics include Algebra II and scatter plots. These recent changes have resulted in a shorter, more
quantitative exam requiring higher level mathematics courses relative to the previous exam.
Calculator use
Four-function, scientific, and graphing calculators are permitted on the SAT math section; however,
calculators are not permitted on either of the other sections. Calculators with QWERTY keyboards, cell
phone calculators, portable computers, and personal organizers are not permitted.
With the recent changes to the content of the SAT math section, the need to save time while
maintaining accuracy of calculations has led some to use calculator programs during the test. These
programs allow students to complete problems faster than would normally be possible when making
calculations manually.
The use of a graphing calculator is sometimes preferred, especially for geometry problems and exercises
involving multiple calculations. According to research conducted by the CollegeBoard, performance on
the math sections of the exam is associated with the extent of calculator use, with those using
calculators on about a third to a half of the items averaging higher scores than those using calculators
less frequently.The use of a graphing calculator in mathematics courses, and also becoming familiar with
the calculator outside of the classroom, is known to have a positive effect on the performance of
students using a graphing calculator during the exam.
Writing
SAT essay. This student received a 10/12 from two judges, each giving 5/6
The writing portion of the SAT, based on but not directly comparable to the old SAT II subject test in
writing (which in turn was developed from the old TSWE), includes multiple choice questions and a brief
essay. The essay subscore contributes about 28% to the total writing score, with the multiple choice
questions contributing 70%. This section was implemented in March 2005 following complaints from
colleges about the lack of uniform examples of a student's writing ability and critical thinking.
The multiple choice questions include error identification questions, sentence improvement questions,
and paragraph improvement questions. Error identification and sentence improvement questions test
the student's knowledge of grammar, presenting an awkward or grammatically incorrect sentence; in
the error identification section, the student must locate the word producing the source of the error or
indicate that the sentence has no error, while the sentence improvement section requires the student
to select an acceptable fix to the awkward sentence. The paragraph improvement questions test the
student's understanding of logical organization of ideas, presenting a poorly written student essay and
asking a series of questions as to what changes might be made to best improve it.
The essay section, which is always administered as the first section of the test, is 25 minutes long. All
essays must be in response to a given prompt. The prompts are broad and often philosophical and are
designed to be accessible to students regardless of their educational and social backgrounds. For
instance, test takers may be asked to expand on such ideas as their opinion on the value of work in
human life or whether technological change also carries negative consequences to those who benefit

from it. No particular essay structure is required, and the College Board accepts examples "taken from
[the student's] reading, studies, experience, or observations." Two trained readers assign each essay a
score between 1 and 6, where a score of 0 is reserved for essays that are blank, off-topic, non-English,
not written with a Number 2 pencil, or considered illegible after several attempts at reading. The scores
are summed to produce a final score from 2 to 12 (or 0). If the two readers' scores differ by more than
one point, then a senior third reader decides. The average time each reader/grader spends on each
essay is less than 3 minutes.
Style of questions
Most of the questions on the SAT, except for the essay and the grid-in math responses, are multiple
choice; all multiple-choice questions have five answer choices, one of which is correct. The questions of
each section of the same type are generally ordered by difficulty. However, an important exception
exists: Questions that follow the long and short reading passages are organized chronologically, rather
than by difficulty. Ten of the questions in one of the math sub-sections are not multiple choice. They
instead require the test taker to bubble in a number in a four-column grid.
The questions are weighted equally. For each correct answer, one raw point is added. For each incorrect
answer one-fourth of a point is deducted. No points are deducted for incorrect math grid-in questions.
This ensures that a student's mathematically expected gain from guessing is zero. The final score is
derived from the raw score; the precise conversion chart varies between test administrations.
The SAT therefore recommends only making educated guesses, that is, when the test taker can
eliminate at least one answer he or she thinks is wrong. Without eliminating any answers one's
probability of answering correctly is 20%. Eliminating one wrong answer increases this probability to
25% (and the expected gain to 1/16 of a point); two, a 33.3% probability (1/6 of a point); and three, a
50% probability (3/8 of a point).

Taking the test
The SAT is offered seven times a year in the United States; in October, November, December, January,
March (or April, alternating), May, and June. The test is typically offered on the first Saturday of the
month for the November, December, May, and June administrations. .
Candidates may take either the SAT Reasoning Test or up to three SAT Subject Tests on any given test
date, except the first spring test date, when only the SAT Reasoning Test is offered. Candidates wishing
to take the test may register online at the College Board's website, by mail, or by telephone, at least
three weeks before the test date.
The SAT Subject Tests are all given in one large book on test day. Therefore, it is actually immaterial
which tests, and how many, the student signs up for; with the possible exception of the language tests

36

with listening, the student may change his or her mind and take any tests, regardless of his or her initial
sign-ups. Students who choose to take more subject tests than they signed up for will later be billed by
College Board for the additional tests and their scores will be withheld until the bill is paid. Students who
choose to take fewer subject tests than they signed up for are not eligible for a refund.
The SAT Reasoning Test costs $49 ($78 International, $99 for India and Pakistan, since the older testing
system is in place). For the Subject tests, students pay a $22 ($49 International, $73 for India and
Pakistan) Basic Registration Fee and $11 per test (except for language tests with listening, which cost
$21 each). The College Board makes fee waivers available for low income students. Additional fees apply
for late registration, standby testing, registration changes, scores by telephone, and extra score reports
(beyond the four provided for free).
Candidates whose religious beliefs prevent them from taking the test on a Saturday may request to take
the test on the following day, except for the October test date in which the Sunday test date is eight
days after the main test offering. Such requests must be made at the time of registration and are subject
to denial.
Students with verifiable disabilities, including physical and learning disabilities, are eligible to take the
SAT with accommodations. The standard time increase for students requiring additional time due to
learning disabilities is time + 50%; time + 100% is also offered.
Raw scores, scaled scores, and percentiles
Students receive their online score reports approximately three weeks after test administration (six
weeks for mailed, paper scores), with each section graded on a scale of 200–800 and two sub scores for
the writing section: the essay score and the multiple choice sub score. In addition to their score,
students receive their percentile (the percentage of other test takers with lower scores). The raw score,
or the number of points gained from correct answers and lost from incorrect answers (ranges from just
under 50 to just under 60, depending upon the test), is also included. Students may also receive, for an
additional fee, the Question and Answer Service, which provides the student's answer, the correct
answer to each question, and online resources explaining each question.

Process for admission
10 Easy Steps
Program and University Selection
Second important step is to conduct a detailed analysis of your academic background, work experience,
extra-curricular activities, sporting interests, budget restrictions, program and course requirement and
career goals. Also collect all the relevant information on the education system of the country you wish
to go for higher study. Based on the assessment, you may want to choose universities that best match
your academic profile, personality and career goals.
How to choose a overseas Graduate School / Post Graduate college
Thoroughly research graduate programs and prospective career fields before becoming international
graduate students –
http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/international-student-counsel/2013/04/18/how-to-choose-a-
us-graduate-school
Check if university & program is well known within its circle
Whether city / country offers you exciting career opportunities for the said program
Finding the right graduate school is a time-consuming and arduous process, so consider the following
factors to decide which school is your best bet.
1. Research your program based on legitimate sources: Check & verify Program rankings using credible
U.S. websites to get an inside look at your program, including its prestige and standing. Learn more
about a program consulting directly with faculty and current students with the help of faculty.
2. Take into account the locations of your school: If your field of study requires practical skills rather
than theoretical knowledge, you should consider going to cities, because you will have a better chance
of getting internships there than in small, rural towns.
It's also important to know that many schools have campuses located in different cities or even different
states. You need to figure out on which campus your program is located by visiting the school's website.
Research the places of your potential future schools. You can ask questions like: What industries in my
field are located there? What are the job or internship opportunities like in that place?
3. Know the details of your program: Find out the syllabus and how long your program is from the
official website of the school since length of programs can vary by school even if the programs are
similar.
4. Learn your career options: Since your final goal is to find a job, talk to alumni or career service
advisers to learn what you can do and where you can go after graduation.
Consult your school's international students and scholars office to find out about the Optional Practical
Training program – which typically allows international students to work in the U.S. legally for one year
after graduation as long as their jobs are related to their educational field – as well as about visas. Many
offices' websites will also have information about applying for OPT.

The steps above mark the beginning of your future journey in the U.S. International students who are
aiming to have a successful academic life and career in the U.S. should remember not to get
discouraged. There's only one way you can make yourself better: never give up or stop trying.

Test Prep: 6 Tips for GRE Success
Need help mastering the GRE? These tips may help you tackle the test. Know what to expect before
taking the GRE.
Every year, more than 700,000 people take the Graduate Record Exam, commonly known as the GRE.
GRE is most commonly taken as a computer-adaptive test, meaning there's no need for a pencil and
those all-too-familiar bubble sheets. On the computer-based test, the difficulty of the questions is based
on the accuracy of your answers to previous questions. The better you perform on the first sets of 20
verbal and quantitative reasoning questions, the harder the next sets of 20 questions will be.
1. Go back to high school: Many GRE test takers are many years removed from the basic tenets of high
school math, which play an important part in the quantitative section of the test. If you're rusty, it's
important to revisit the concepts of algebra and geometry that you learned in high school.
Algebra and geometry are assumed background knowledge in college courses, and you will be hard-
pressed to find a class to take at that level [that] will prepare you directly for questions of this type.
2. Sleep with your dictionary: While the GRE's quantitative section is not much more advanced than the
math found in the SAT—and familiarity with concepts learned in high school should be enough to post a
decent score—the verbal section went to college and graduated with honors in English.
During your time in school, be sure to read as much as possible to expand your vocabulary so that you
can decipher unfamiliar words, testing experts say. You can assimilate far more diverse vocabulary over
four years of college than you could ever hope to by cramming for a few weeks or months prior to the
GRE. It is extremely important for success on the qualitative sections of the GRE to be well read. Reading
English news paper and preparing 25 new words to add up to your vocabulary will be of great support.
3. Take a GRE prep course (if you can afford it): GRE is designed specifically to differ from areas of study
in college and is supposed to be a measure of a college graduates' critical thinking skills, not necessarily
what they learned in school. The tutoring classes tend to pay off, but are a sizable investment. Generally
students with good academic record need two months of preparation. If academic record is average or
self confidence for preparing on your own is weak then good to join some coaching.
"It's worth investing some time and money in preparing for the GRE," says Mitchell. "Critical thinking is
something that's hard to change overnight because it's such a lifelong skill. We try to help people unlock
their critical thinking skills by getting more familiar with the test and more familiar with proven
methods."
Another option for building critical thinking that's a little easier on the checkbook is using the free
resources on the Educational Testing Services (ETS) website. Sample questions and essay responses,
advice, and scoring guides are available online from the folks who created the GRE.
4. Take a practice test! While your vocabulary may be impeccable, your writing skills polished, and your
quantitative abilities sharpened to a razor's edge, none of that matters if you're unaccustomed to the
test's unconventional format.
"To walk into this test unprepared, to sit down [and take it] having never done it before is suicide,"
notes Neill Seltzer, national GRE content director for the Princeton Review.

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

Educational Testing Service, the Princeton Review, and Kaplan all have free computer adaptive tests
online that help simulate what is a foreign experience to many.
"It's different from the SAT, and that really threw me off the first time," says Amy Trongnetrpunya, who
earned a perfect score on the quantitative section of the GRE after scoring poorly on her first try. "The
computer-adaptive practice exam really helped."
5. Don't like your score? Take it again: Schools have access to any GRE scores for tests you've taken in
the last five years, but experts claim that many universities only care about the best one. While this isn't
true for all schools and all programs, many universities pull the highest scores from the GRE ticket they
receive from ETS. The admissions officials (and sometimes work-study students) who receive the tickets
are the first line of defense, and oftentimes, they record only the top score when they're compiling your
file before sending it up the admissions food chain.
"Even though ETS will report every score, the person reading that file and making the admissions
decision may only see the highest math and highest verbal," says Seltzer.
6. Take a tough English course: Even if you aren't an English major and don't plan on writing the next
great American novel, honing your writing skills is integral to overall success on the GRE. The two essays
in the analytical section take up roughly one third of the time test takers are allotted. Some testing
experts argue that near the end of college you should take a high-level English or writing course.
While enduring a high-level writing course might put a small dent in the GPA (and ego) of non-English
majors, it is an immense help when it's time to crank out two timed essays on the pressure-packed GRE.
"I would emphasize taking a few rigorous English and writing college courses, in addition to test prep, to
best prepare yourself for the caliber of questions you'll find on the GRE," says Alexis Avila, founder and
president of Prepped & Polished, a Boston area-based college counseling and tutoring firm.
GRE: The price will remain $160, but the new exam will last about four hours rather than three. It will
also reflect key changes in the verbal and math sections. The current computer-adaptive test adjusts the
difficulty of each successive problem based on whether the previous one is answered correctly. The new
version will allow you to skip individual questions in a section, answer the others, then come back to
address the unfinished portion. The computer will then score the section and modify the difficulty of the
next part accordingly.
This change enables test-takers to avoid losing time when they're stuck. By temporarily putting a
problem aside, you can return to it and "see it with fresh eyes," says Neill Seltzer, national GRE content
director for the Princeton Review test prep company.
The content of the exam will change in other ways as well:
• Writing: You'll still be asked to write two essays, but you can no longer choose the topic. The questions
will also require "more focused" responses, according to Educational Testing Service (ETS), which
administers the GRE.
• Math: The revised exam will feature fewer geometry problems and will test your ability to interpret
data in real-world scenarios. One bonus: You can use an on-screen calculator.
• Verbal: Expect to be tested more on reading comprehension. Some sections may require you to select
multiple answers to be correct, or to highlight portions of reading passages in your response. In another

break from the past, analogies and antonyms have been eliminated. David Payne, ETS's vice president
and chief operating officer for higher education, says this is a definite improvement. Testing vocabulary
out of context is "really pretty far removed from what you'll actually be doing in graduate school," he
says.
The changes reflect an effort to create a test that admissions officials can more easily interpret and that
poses less of an ordeal for test-takers, Payne says. Scores will be adjusted, too, to range from 130 to 170
rather than 200 to 800 per section.
The revised GRE will completely replace the current version on August 1 (though the first scores will not
be available until November). The old test will be offered until then to those who wish to take it while
spaces remain available at examination facilities. But Princeton Review's Seltzer doesn't think test takers
should fret too much about the new exam. "There's a little bit of a shift in emphasis," he says, but "the
content that's being tested is not changing fundamentally."
GMAT: In June 2012, all GMATs will incorporate a new integrated reasoning section designed to assess
how applicants juggle and analyze different forms of information at once. Test takers will have to review
spreadsheets, written passages, scatter plots, and other visuals to address questions that might require
them to select multiple correct answers.
The ability to use and interpret information in different formats is precisely what business schools want
to see, says Ashok Sarathy, vice president for GMAT operations for the Graduate Management
Admission Council, which owns the GMAT. "It's not just a chart for a chart's sake."
Still, Scott Shrum, director of M.B.A. admissions research for Veritas Prep, a California-based GMAT test
prep and M.B.A. admissions consulting company, says, "If you've studied up correctly, you're not going
to be surprised" by the new section. Shrum says test takers will also appreciate the inclusion of new mini
case studies, which will allow for more creative and open-ended responses. In fact, Shrum notes, these
kinds of questions are very similar to what companies ask business students applying for jobs.
The official GMAT website will offer more details on the new test questions in the coming months. But
remember, Seltzer advises, "Your score on this test is not tattooed on your forehead at birth." As with
the GRE, you can take the exam up to five times a year. Retaking the test can make sense for those
applying to schools that have a formal policy of considering only the best score an applicant achieves.
Keep in mind that while the $250 GMAT remains the go-to test for many M.B.A. applicants, an
increasing number of business schools are now accepting the GRE in addition to the GMAT—or instead
of it. But you'll want to check with each institution to determine its policy (and the weight given to each
exam) before making a decision to take one or both.

Make the U.S. Student Visa Process Painless
http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/international-student-counsel/2013/06/25/make-the-us-
student-visa-process-painless?src=usn_tw
Check hearing & understanding USA English using CD or watching English Movies. You need to practice it
well before attending Visa interview.
Arriving early with all of the required documents will ensure a smooth visa appointment.
Paperwork: It's the part of a life-changing experience If you're planning on studying abroad, getting your
student visa in order is one of the most important tasks when preparing to travel to the U.S. The
paperwork can take quite a while to process. Once you've applied to colleges, make sure to get your
initial visa forms in early.
There are several stages to visa applications, and the sooner you get your forms filled out, the sooner
you're likely to get your appointment at the American embassy and ultimately obtain your visa. After
working through the initial paperwork you must then make an appointment at the U.S. embassy for your
visa.
When it comes time for your appointment, make sure you are fully equipped. It is crucial that you have
all of your paperwork with you.
Double check this before you head out, as there will be some documents you need to bring in order to
complete the appointment, like your passport. Remember that electronics, and other instruments like
stapler, punching machines, etc, and your mobile phone, are not allowed inside the embassy Despite the
potentially long wait, make sure you arrive at least half an hour before your appointment is due to start.
Once your visa appointment is over, make sure you photocopy every important piece of paper, or scan
and save all of your forms to a hard drive.
Losing any piece of visa paperwork can land you in a mess, but the process of fixing that problem will be
made marginally easier if you have at least one backup copy of all of your required forms. Keep
everything together in a big folder, save copies on a hard drive and, of course, try not to lose any of the
originals.
Completing all of your visa requirements is an essential part of preparing to study in the U.S. If you find
yourself stressed by all of these forms, just remind yourself that once you get the paperwork filed you
can start planning the exciting parts of your new college experience.

FAQ about admission
Q : I have sent photocopies of GRE/TOEFL scores to universities. Still Do I need to send the scores
officially?
Ans - Yes, you must report GRE/TOEFL scores to universities through ETS. Sending photocopies is only
for fast processing of your application.
Q : When should I apply to Universities?
Ans - Try to apply 5 to 9 months earlier than the application deadline dates. You would have more
probability to get funding if you apply early. In order to get admission into some of the top universities
some students apply earlier by 1 year of deadline.
Q : Do I have chances of getting admission if I apply after deadline?
Ans - Most of the Low ranked universities won't consider deadlines. You would have good chances of
getting admission even if you apply after deadline. But this is not true in case of top universities.
Q : What is GPA? What is my GPA?
Ans - GPA means Grade point Average. It is the standard measure of performance of a student in USA. It
is similar to the 100% scoring system in India. There is an institution called WES. They will evaluate your
transcripts to calculate your GPA and send the reports to universities.
Q : Would GRE/TOEFL scores is important than academic marks?
Ans - Most of the universities will consider GRE/TOEFL score rather than academics. Admission
committees consider standardized exams, like the GRE, MCAT, LSAT, and GMAT, to make comparisons
among applicants from different countries and different universities. Therefore if you have a low
academic percentage, it is essential having good test scores. Some of the universities like University of
Cincinnati will consider strong academic % of a student rather than his GRE/TOEFL scores.
Q : What is Form I20?
Ans - A Form I-20 is a government form that tells the U.S. government that you are eligible for F-1
Student Status. It certifies that (1) you are or expect to be a "bona fide" student; 2) you meet admissions
requirements; (3) you will pursue a full course of study; (4) you proved to us that you have enough
money to study and live in the U.S. without working illegally or suffering from poverty.
Don’ts while in USA
1. NOT to park in Disabled parking without Handicap
2. NOT to miss paying Tolls at Unattended toll booths
3. NOT to mess with Under 21’s in America?
4. Not to buy Alcohol, Cigarettes under 21

9. NOT to speak in mother tongue in mixed group
10. NOT to apply to credit cards offers that come in Mail
11. NOT to use passport at places that ask Picture ID

Suggestions while in USA
How to select accommodation?
There are two types of accommodation.
1. Type A - Within university campus, as managed by university
2. Type B – off campus, to be managed by individual
Factors to be considered while deciding on campus or off-campus accommodation are mental ability to
stay with international student and of any gender! Other factors like bus/local train connectivity, overall
rent, inclusion/exclusion of utilities like electricity, internet, laundry, heat hot water, gas, proximity to
supermarkets, malls or grocery stores to be checked. It is advised to stay close by. Research is required
to decide to opt for on campus or off campus housing. Getting in touch with the seniors in the university
always helps. Joining the Facebook & Yahoo groups for particular university helps in posting questions
and doubts and seeking the inputs from the seniors which are to be further analysed. Individual research
is recommended. Do not blindly follow what others do/say. Accommodation can be finalised remotely
seeking url for rental accommodation, using internet search or from the seniors, having email
communication with owners and later skype call if necessary, finalising agreement and paying the
advance deposit & one month rent. Alternatively if you have any friend around the same locality, you
can stay for 1-2 week with friend and search for better choices in person. If your accommodation is a bit
far and if there is no direct bus facility then you might have to consider buying a second hand car. It is a
car dependent country unless you are in a place which is well connected by path trains. Purchasing car
could cost upto 5000 US$.
How do students search for room partners?
For on campus housing, the university decides who your roommate will be. However you can always
give preference of your roommate but it is not guaranteed that the same person will be your roommate.
For off campus housing, again, Facebook / Yahoo University groups helps. You can post your preferences
for roommate or create a spreadsheet with details about your name, major, place you are from,
preferred roommate: Gender, preferred eating style: veg/non veg etc. Once you have tentatively
finalised roommate, preferred from the same or nearby city in India, you may want to meet, discuss in
detail and understand the personality.
Booking ticket
Early booking of tickets may help save few bucks. You may want to visit all the travel sites to get an idea
about the range of ticket cost. It is advised to fly minimum 2 weeks before the orientation to settle
down, shop, and know the place, people and the university. Bulk booking and booking through agents

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

may save your time and its hassle free. You are suggested to check how much free baggage is allowed by
the airline. It is good to weight the baggage at home before starting.
Remember always: BE CAREFUL with ALL your documents all through your travel. The following
documents are quite important for a peaceful stay in the U.S.A:
 Original Form I-20.
 Original Passport with valid F-1 Visa.
 Original Form I-94 (Do not ever remove, it is stapled to your passport! This document is more
important than the passport itself!).
 Demand drafts, Travelers’ Checks, and currency.
 Any sealed documents that the US Consulate gave you.
 Other important documents, such as previous academic records.
 Vaccination Certificate.
 Letter of admission/financial aid.
About facilities of communication
Once you are in the US, the first thing you need to do is get a phone. Seniors will help you get to the
nearest phone store and depending on the rates and plan you may choose a service of your liking. AT&T
is popular in the east. But there are other service providers like the Sprint, Verizon and T mobile etc. Few
offers like free instrument with specific period of service might be attractive. For India calling, there are
a bunch of options like Dial91, IndiaLD, Raza, Reliance, etc. These can be availed through online payment
and may be changed within a month if not satisfied.
Next step would be to get a laptop. Desktop would be available at library of university. You may want to
wait for better sales deal like labor day to buy your own. Also you can subscribe internet jointly with
your roommate. About facilities of communication – It is observed that skype, yahoo, msn, gtalk like
applications are the most economical voice communication mean if internet facility is available at either
sides.Users can call any mobile in USA free of cost using Google talk.
About insurance
Most students are covered by the university insurance. However, if it is too expensive, you may want to
opt for a cheaper one from US. www.isoa.org offers reasonable price for students with good coverage. It
is discourage to come to US with an Indian Insurance, many Hospitals and doctors do not accept it!!
Cooking & other skills
Most of the students prepare their own food. Learn light cooking lessons from mom before flying (and
other activities like washing clothes, ironing, cleaning house, etc). Like India, you will not find small food
stalls around the corner in the US. If you are hungry, be ready to shell out a minimum of $5 – 10 $. If you
are a vegetarian, cooking helps as vegetarian food is little hard to get outside. It is suggested to get all
basic utensils like pressure cooker, pots, spoons of various sizes, knife, etc from India. You may want to
decide & divide the utensils with your roommate. It is better to have a Pressure cooker, kadhai, vessel

and a pan for each of you. Try buying the black vessels with flat bottom as many homes here have the
electric heating via coils.

Bachelor’s Degrees
The bachelor’s degree is the most common first degree in U.S. higher education and is the degree that
gives access to advanced studies. U.S. bachelor’s degrees are usually planned to take 4 academic years
of full-time study to complete. However, many degrees take longer to complete, including those in
engineering, architecture and other fields; and many bachelor’s degrees are completed in less than 4
years by highly qualified and motivated students. Bachelor’s degrees may be awarded in academic or
professional fields of study.
Bachelor’s degree Description
The bachelor’s degree may be defined as “An award that normally requires at least 4 but not more than
5 years of full-time equivalent college-level work. This includes all bachelor's degrees conferred in a 5-
year cooperative (work-study) program. A cooperative plan provides for alternate class attendance and
employment in business, industry, or government; thus, it allows students to combine actual work
experience with their college studies. Also includes bachelor's degrees in which the normal 4 years of
work are completed in 3 years.” (NCES)
U.S. bachelor degree programs usually include requirements for breadth as well as depth of study, and
students will fulfill what are called liberal or general studies requirements for introductory knowledge in
several subjects as well as a concentration in one or more subjects, called a “major.” Students are
assigned a faculty advisor, usually in the intended field of study, who assists the student in developing a
plan of study that is coherent and uses the general education requirements to support the major. Many
students become exempt from the general requirements through faculty examinations, presentation of
Advanced Placement (AP) examination scores (3 or higher), or presentation of an International
Baccalaureate (IB) or other advanced or honors secondary qualification.
Some U.S. undergraduate students’ transcripts may show that remedial courses were completed, or
examinations taken, in order to correct deficiencies or to complete prerequisites for certain subjects. It
is important to know, however, that U.S. accreditation rules do not allow remedial work to be awarded
undergraduate credit.
Inter- or multi-disciplinarity is a major thrust of U.S. higher education, and it begins with the first degree
level. U.S. educators and employers believe strongly that the bachelor’s degree should prepare students
for entry-level jobs as well as for possible advanced study. Whether students continue their studies or
enter the labor market, they will need to understand the basic principles of fields other than their own

narrow specialization, and they will need skills – such as languages, IT and computational skills – that
cannot be obtained exclusively in their major field. This extra knowledge and skill must be obtained at
the higher education level. Secondary-level preparation cannot substitute for it. And the degree
program should be structured so that the additional knowledge and skill complements the main subject
concentration.
Most bachelor’s degrees are titled Bachelor of Arts (BA or AB) or Bachelor of Science (BS or SB), but
there are many other bachelor’s degree titles in use.
HONORS BACHELOR’S DEGREES
Honors bachelor’s degrees are awarded and involve more independent study, require a thesis or special
project, and may have special admissions requirements. The designation, admission and content
standards for honors degrees are set by the awarding institution. Honors degrees are usually
designated on the degree transcript and sometimes on the degree diploma, and the title of the honors
thesis or project will often be provided.
Liberal Arts and General Education
AACU Description of Liberal Arts Education provides information on the concept of liberal education and
explanations of the various terms used to refer to this model of undergraduate education.
AACU Description of General Education provides information on the concept of general education and
links to various resources.

POST-BACHELOR’S CERTIFICATES

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

58

A number of U.S. higher education institutions offer programs that permit a student to earn a
specialized certificate (it can also be called a diploma) at the same time the bachelor’s degree is earned
or shortly thereafter. These certificates may indicate the mastery of knowledge and skills, such as
foreign languages or computer software, or the completion of additional requirements permitting
access to professional licensure procedures, as in teacher training, accounting, and other fields. Post-
bachelor’s certificates usually require no more than a single academic year to complete, and are often
completed as part of the degree program. They do not constitute a separate degree level and are not
degrees.
The B.L.S. degree is frequently awarded to graduates of programs in divisions of continuing or adult
education, as well as to students who complete structured and supervised independent studies
programs. Despite the title, the content of this degree often corresponds to regular B.A. or B.S.
programs in academic or professional fields.
Will like to Quote email from one of the famous universities of USA, dated 5th Jan 2012, which will give
clear idea about documents required, fee requirements and likely scholarships during graduation
program.
In most cases, we will take classes with a grade of C or better from ACCREDITED universities as transfer
credit. The individual department will be responsible for determining accreditation, evaluating credits,
and assigning an appropriate year level to a student. I am unable to speculate his admissibility to our
school will be without a transcript or completed application. Please send us the following as soon as
possible so we can begin the application review process:
-Application (available online or you can print out this PDF on this link and fill this out:
http://www.rit.edu/emcs/admissions/pdf/international_application.pdf)
-$50 application fee
-Personal statement or essay
-Official transcripts from all high schools/universities attended with official translations
-TOEFL or IELTS score report
-Financial documentation (letter of sponsorship and bank statement).
International scholarships will be awarded to highly qualified freshman and transfer applicants. All
applicants are considered for merit scholarships, which typically range from $6,000 to $15,000 per
academic year and are renewable with a 2.5 or higher RIT grade point average. Freshman international
applicants are encouraged to submit SAT or ACT results. Scholarship awards are only offered upon
admission to RIT. RIT also offers limited need-based scholarships for international undergraduate
students. To apply, students must demonstrate financial resources of at least $42,450 USD and
complete the College Board International Student Financial Aid Application:
http://www.rit.edu/emcs/admissions/pdf/1011%20Intl%20Student%20Fin%20Aid%20Application.pdf.
Students who are awarded merit or need-based scholarships may use scholarships awarded as part of
the documentation of support. The total support, which may include the merit or need-based
scholarships if applicable, must total at least $42,000USD in order for RIT to issue the I-20 or DS-2019

U.S. Higher Education Glossary
International students: Your search for the best U.S. university for you starts here - By ANITA NARAYAN
What's the difference between a college and a university? Who are undergraduate students versus
graduate students? What's the FAFSA? Studying in the United States can be confusing if you don't fully
understand the words used in U.S. higher education. With that in mind, U.S. News has compiled a
glossary of important terms specifically for international students and parents. While this list is not
exhaustive, it offers a key starting point as you explore the best U.S. universities for you.
We want to hear from you! What words are missing from this glossary? Comment below or send us an
E-mail with your thoughts and suggestions.
A
Academic adviser: A member of a school's faculty who provides advice and guidance to students on
academic matters, such as course selections.
Academic year: Annual period during which a student attends and receives formal instruction at a
college or university, typically from August or September to May or June. The academic year may be
divided into semesters, trimesters, quarters, or other calendars.
Accredited: Official recognition that a college or university meets the standards of a regional or national
association. Although international students are not required to attend an accredited college or
university in the United States, employers, other schools, and governments worldwide often only
recognize degrees from accredited schools.
ACT (American College Test): A standardized college entrance exam administered by the American
College Testing Program. Four separate, multiple-choice tests measure knowledge of English, math,
reading, and science, and one optional writing test measures essay planning and writing skills. Most
students take the ACT during their junior or senior year of high school, and most colleges and
universities accept scores from either the ACT or SAT. Some schools may recommend, but not require,
international students to take the ACT or SAT. (See the U.S. News college test prep guide for more
information.)
Affidavit of Support: An official document proving adequate funding from an individual or organization
to cover an international student's educational and living expenses while enrolled at a U.S. college or
university.
AP (Advanced Placement program): A program offered by the College Board, a U.S.-based nonprofit
educational organization, that allows students to take college-level courses while in high school.

Students can then take standardized AP exams; those with qualifying scores can earn credit at certain
colleges and universities.
Assistantship: A financial aid award granted to a graduate student to help pay for tuition that is offered
in return for certain services, such as serving as a teaching assistant or research assistant.
Associate's: An undergraduate degree awarded by a college or university upon successful completion of
a program of study, usually requiring two years of full-time study. An associate's is typically awarded by
community colleges; it may be a career or technical degree, or it may be a transfer degree, allowing
students to transfer those credits to a four-year bachelor's degree-granting school.
Audit: To take a class to gain knowledge about a subject, but without receiving credit toward a degree.
B
Bachelor's: An undergraduate degree awarded by a college or university upon successful completion of a
program of study, typically requiring at least four years (or the equivalent) of full-time study. Common
degree types include bachelor of arts (B.A. or A.B.), which refers to the liberal arts, and bachelor of
science (B.S.). A bachelor's is required before starting graduate studies.
C
Campus: The grounds and buildings where a college or university is located.
Coed: Open to both men and women (often used to describe a school that admits both sexes and a
dormitory that houses both genders).
College: A postsecondary institution that typically provides only an undergraduate education, but in
some cases, also graduate degrees. "College" is often used interchangeably with "university" and
"school." Separately, "college" can refer to an academic division of a university, such as College of
Business. (See U.S. News's rankings of Best Colleges.)
Commencement: A graduation ceremony where students officially receive their degrees, typically held
in May or June at the end of the academic year, though some colleges and universities also hold August
and December ceremonies.
Common Application: A standard application form that is accepted by more than 450 member colleges
and universities for admissions. Students can complete the form online or in print and submit copies to
any of the participating colleges, rather than filling out individual forms for each school. However,
international students will typically need to submit additional application materials unique to each
college.
Community college: A public, two-year postsecondary institution that offers the associate degree. Also
known as a "junior college." Community colleges typically provide a transfer program, allowing students
to transfer to a four-year school to complete their bachelor's degree, and a career program, which
provides students with a vocational degree.
Conditional admission: An acceptance to a college or university that is dependent on the student first
completing coursework or meeting specific criteria before enrollment. For an international student, this
can include a requirement to attain a certain level of English-language proficiency if the student's TOEFL
score doesn't meet the minimum required.
Core requirements: Mandatory courses that students are required to complete to earn a degree.

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

61

Course: A regularly scheduled class on a particular subject. Each college or university offers degree
programs that consist of a specific number of required and elective courses.
Course load: The number of courses or credits a student takes during a specific term.
Credits: Units that a school uses to indicate that a student has completed and passed courses that are
required for a degree. Each school defines the total number and types of credits necessary for degree
completion, with every course being assigned a value in terms of "credits," "credit hours," or "units."
Culture shock: Feelings of uncertainty, confusion, or anxiety that can occur when adjusting to a new
country and culture that may be very different from your own. International students may also
experience "reverse culture shock" upon returning to their home country, after they have become
accustomed to the new country and culture.
Curriculum: A program of study made up of a set of courses offered by a school.
D
Dean: The head of a division of a college or university.
Deferral / Deferred admission: A school's act of postponing a student's application for early decision or
early action, so that it will be considered along with the rest of the regular applicant group. A "deferral"
can also refer to a student's act of postponing enrollment for one year, if the school agrees.
Degree: A diploma or title awarded to students by a college or university after successful completion of
a program of study.
Department: A division of a school, made up of faculty and support staff, that gives instruction in a
particular field of study, such as the history department.
Discipline: An area of academic study.
Dissertation: An in-depth, formal writing requirement on an original topic of research that is typically
submitted in the final stages before earning a doctorate (Ph.D.).
Doctorate (Ph.D.): The highest academic degree awarded by a university upon successful completion of
an advanced program of study, typically requiring at least three years of graduate study beyond the
master's degree (which may have been earned at a different university). Ph.D. candidates must
demonstrate their mastery of a subject through oral and written exams and original, scholarly research
presented in a dissertation.
Dormitories (dorms): Student housing provided by a college or university, also known as "residence
halls," which typically includes rooms, bathrooms, common areas, and possibly a kitchen or cafeteria.
Double major: A program of study that allows a student to complete the course requirements for two
majors at the same time.
Drop: To withdraw from a course. A college or university typically has a period of time at the beginning
of a term during which students can add or drop courses.

Early action: A program offered by some colleges and universities that allows students to submit their
applications early, typically in November or December, and receive decisions early, usually in mid- or
late December. Students are not required to accept the admissions offer and have until May 1 to decide.
Although some schools allow international students to apply via early action, applicants who request
financial aid may not receive a decision any earlier than those who apply through the regular decision
process.
Early decision: A program offered by some colleges and universities that allows students to submit an
application to their top-choice school early, typically in November or December, and receive the
decision early, usually in mid- or late December. If accepted, students are required to enroll at that
school and withdraw all applications to other schools. Although some schools allow international
students to apply via early decision, applicants who apply for financial aid may not receive a decision any
earlier than those who apply through the regular decision process.
Electives: Courses that students can choose to take for credit toward a degree, but are not required.
English as a Second Language (ESL): A course or program of study used to teach English to non-native
English speakers.
Enroll: To register or enter a school or course as a participant.
Exempt: Not required to do something that other students may be required to do. For example, a school
may require all students to take a freshman English course, but some students may be exempt based on
their high scores on a college entrance exam or their previous coursework.
Extracurricular activities: Optional activities, such as sports, that students can participate in outside of
academic classes.
F
Faculty: A school's teaching and administrative staff who is responsible for designing programs of study.
FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid): Application used by U.S. citizens and permanent
residents to apply for financial aid from U.S. federal and state governments. International students are
not eligible for U.S. government aid, but schools may ask international students to submit a FAFSA to
determine financial need. (Note: A social security number is required to complete the FAFSA.)
Fees: An amount of money charged by colleges and universities, in addition to their tuition, to cover
costs of services such as libraries and computer technology.
Fellowship: An amount of money awarded by a college or university, usually to graduate students and
generally based on academic achievement.
Financial aid: All types of money offered to a student to help pay tuition, fees, and other educational

analyze different types of information at once. (See the U.S. News business school test prep guide for
more information.)
Grade: A score or mark indicating a student's academic performance on an exam, paper, or in a course.
A "grade" can also refer to which year a student is in while at elementary, middle, or high school, but
that usage typically does not apply at the college or university level.
Grade point average (GPA): A student's overall academic performance, which is calculated as a
numerical average of grades earned in all courses. The GPA is determined after each term, typically on a
4.0 scale, and upon graduation, students receive an overall GPA for their studies.
Graduate school: The division of a college or university, or an independent postsecondary institution,
which administers graduate studies and awards master's degrees, doctorates, or graduate certificates.
(See U.S. News's rankings of Best Graduate Schools.)
Graduate student / graduate studies: A student who already holds an undergraduate degree and is
pursuing advanced studies at a graduate school, leading to a master's, doctorate, or graduate certificate.
A "graduate" can also refer to any student who has successfully completed a program of study and
earned a degree.
Grant: A type of financial aid that consists of an amount of free money given to a student, often by the
federal or a state government, a company, a school, or a charity. A grant does not have to be repaid.
"Grant" is often used interchangeably with "scholarship."
GRE (Graduate Record Examination): A standardized graduate school entrance exam administered by
the nonprofit Educational Testing Service (ETS), which measures verbal, quantitative, and analytical
writing skills. The exam is generally required by graduate schools, which use it to assess applicants of
master's and Ph.D. programs. Some business schools accept either the GMAT or GRE; law schools
generally require the LSAT; and medical schools typically require the MCAT. Effective August 2011, the
GRE will incorporate key changes in the content, length, and style of the exam. (See the U.S. News GRE
guide for more information.)

recommendation letters as part of the application process.
Liberal arts: Academic studies of subjects in the humanities, social sciences, and the sciences, with a
focus on general knowledge, in contrast to a professional or technical emphasis. "Liberal arts" is often
used interchangeably with "liberal arts and sciences" or "arts and sciences."
Liberal arts college: A postsecondary institution that emphasizes an undergraduate education in liberal
arts. The majority of liberal arts colleges have small student bodies, do not offer graduate studies, and
focus on faculty teaching rather than research. (See U.S. News's rankings of Best Liberal Arts Colleges.)
Loan: A type of financial aid that consists of an amount of money that is given to someone for a period
of time, with an agreement that it will be repaid later. International students are generally not eligible

LSAT (Law School Admission Test): A standardized law school entrance exam administered by the
nonprofit Law School Admission Council, which measures reading comprehension, analytical reasoning,
and logical reasoning skills. There is also a writing section; although it is not scored, it is sent to each law
school to which a student applies. (See the U.S. News LSAT test prep guide for more information.)
M
Major: The academic subject area that a student chooses to focus on during his or her undergraduate
studies. Students typically must officially choose their major by the end of their sophomore year,
allowing them to take a number of courses in the chosen area during their junior and senior years.
Master's: A graduate degree awarded by a college or university upon successful completion of an
advanced program of study, typically requiring one or two years of full-time study beyond the bachelor's

psychology, and sociology.
Merit aid / merit scholarships: A type of financial aid awarded by a college or university to students who
have demonstrated special academic ability or talents, regardless of their financial need. Most merit aid
has specific requirements if students want to continue to receive it, such as maintaining a certain GPA.
Midterm exam: An exam given after half of the academic term has passed and that covers all material
studied in a particular course until that point. Not all courses have midterm exams.
Minor: An academic subject area that a student chooses to have a secondary focus on during their
undergraduate studies. Unlike a major, a minor is typically not required, but it allows a student to take a
few additional courses in a subject different from his or her major.
N
Need-based financial aid: Financial aid that is awarded to students due to their financial inability to pay
the full cost of attending a specific college or university, rather than specifically because of their grades
or other merit.
Need-blind admissions: A college or university's policy of accepting or declining applications without
considering an applicant's financial circumstances. This policy does not necessarily mean that these
schools will offer enough financial aid to meet a student's full need. Only a handful of U.S. colleges or
universities offer need-blind admissions to international students.
Net price calculator: An online tool that allows students and families to calculate a personalized
estimate of the cost of a specific college or university, after taking into account any scholarships or

Nonmatriculated: Enrolled in a college or university's courses, but not in a program of study leading to a
degree.
Nonresident: A student who does not meet a state's residence requirements. A college or university may
have different tuition costs and admissions policies for residents versus nonresidents. In most cases,
international students are considered nonresidents. A "nonresident alien" is a person who is not a U.S.
citizen and is in the country on a temporary basis.
Notarized: Certified as authentic by a public official, lawyer, or bank. Colleges and universities often
require international students to submit notarized documents, such as the Affidavit of Support or high

don't include ones taken to fulfill major or minor requirements.
Ph.D.: A doctor of philosophy degree. (See "doctorate.")
Plagiarism: The use of another person's words or ideas as your own, without acknowledging that person.
Schools have different policies and punishments for students caught plagiarizing, which tends to occur
with research papers and other written assignments.
Postdoctorate: Academic studies or research for those who have completed a doctorate. A "postdoc"
can refer both to a person who is pursuing a postdoctorate and to the postdoctorate itself.
Prerequisite: A required course that must be completed before a student is allowed to enroll in a more
advanced one.
Priority date: The date by which an application must be received in order to be given full consideration.
This can apply to admissions, financial aid, and on-campus housing. After the priority date passes,
applications may be considered on a case-by-case or first-come-first-served basis.

Private school: A postsecondary institution controlled by a private individual(s) or a nongovernmental
agency. A private institution is usually not supported primarily by public funds and its programs are not
operated by publicly elected or appointed officials. Stanford University, for example, is a private school.
Probation: A status or period of time in which students with very low GPAs, or whose academic work is
unsatisfactory according to the school, must improve their performance. If they are unable to do so,
they may be dismissed from the school. Students may also face "disciplinary probation" for
nonacademic reasons, such as behavioral problems in the dorms.
Professional school: A higher education institution for students who have already received their
undergraduate degree to gain training in specific professions, such as law, medicine, and pharmacy.
Provost: The senior academic officer of a college or university who typically oversees all academic
policies and curriculum-related matters.
PSAT: The Preliminary SAT, a standardized practice test cosponsored by the nonprofit College Board and
the National Merit Scholarship Corp., which measures reading, writing, and math skills, giving students
experience with the SAT. Students usually take the PSAT in their junior year of high school, and U.S.
citizens and permanent residents can submit their scores to qualify for National Merit scholarships. (See
the U.S. News college test prep guide for more information.)
Public school: A postsecondary institution that is supported mainly by public funds and whose programs
are operated by publicly elected or appointed officials. The University of California—Berkeley, for
example, is a public school.
Q
Quarters: Periods of study that divide the academic year into four equal segments of approximately 12
weeks each, typically including the summer.
R
Registrar: The college or university official who is responsible for registering students and keeping their
academic records, such as transcripts.
Registration: The process in which students choose and enroll in courses to be taken during the
academic year or in summer sessions.
Regular decision: An admissions process used by colleges and universities that typically requires
applicants to submit their materials by January 1; an admissions decision is generally received by April 1,
and if admitted, students usually have until May 1 to respond to the offer. The majority of applicants are
evaluated during regular decision, rather than early action and early decision.
Resident assistant (RA): A student leader who works in campus dormitories and supervises issues and
activities related to dorm life. RAs often receive free housing in the dorm in return for their services.
Rolling admissions: An admissions process used by some colleges and universities in which each
application is considered as soon as all the required materials have been received, rather than by a
specific deadline. Colleges and universities with this policy will make decisions as applications are
received until all spaces are filled.
Room and board: Housing and meals. "Room and board" is typically one of the costs that colleges and
universities will list in their annual estimated cost of attendance, in addition to tuition, fees, and

textbooks and supplies. If students choose to live in dormitories, they may be required to buy into a
meal plan to use on-campus dining facilities.
S
SAT: A standardized college entrance exam administered by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) on
behalf of the nonprofit College Board, which measures reading, writing, and math skills. Most students
take the SAT during their junior or senior year of high school, and most colleges and universities accept
scores from either the SAT or ACT. In addition, students may choose to take the SAT Subject Tests in
English, history, languages, math, and science to demonstrate their knowledge in specific academic
areas. Some schools may recommend, but not require, international students to take the SAT or ACT.
(See the U.S. News college test prep guide for more information.)
Scholarship: A type of financial aid that consists of an amount of free money given to a student by a
school, individual, organization, company, charity, or federal or state government. "Scholarship" is often
used interchangeably with "grant." (See the U.S. News scholarship guide for more information.)
School: Any educational institution, including those that provide elementary, secondary, and
postsecondary education. In the latter case, "school" is often used interchangeably with "college" and
"university."
Semesters: Periods of study that divide the academic year into two equal segments of approximately 15
to 18 weeks each. Some schools also offer a shorter summer semester, beyond the traditional academic
year.
Seminar: A course offered to a small group of students who are typically more advanced and who meet
with a professor to discuss specialized topics.
Senior: A student in the fourth year of high school or college / university.
SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System): A computerized U.S. government database
used to track international students and scholars in the United States. Once an international student is
accepted by a U.S. college or university, the school is required to mail the student a Form I-20, which is a
paper record of the student's information in SEVIS. A student must pay a SEVIS fee and use the payment
receipt and I-20 to apply for a visa.
Social Security number: A nine-digit number issued by the U.S. government to people who are
authorized to work in the United States and collect certain government benefits. Many colleges and
universities use the Social Security number as the student identification number. International students
who are in the United States and are authorized to work either on or off campus must apply for and
obtain a Social Security number, which is then used to report their wages to the government.
Sophomore: A student in the second year of high school or college / university.
Sorority: A student organization for women formed for social, academic, community service, or
professional purposes. A sorority is part of a college or university's Greek system.
Standardized tests: Exams, such as the SAT, ACT, and GRE, which measure knowledge and skills and are
designed to be consistent in how they are administered and scored. Standardized tests are intended to
help admissions officials compare students who come from different backgrounds.

Teaching assistant (TA): A graduate student who assists a professor with teaching an undergraduate
course, usually within his or her field, as part of an assistantship.
Tenure: A status offered to high-level faculty members at a college or university that allows them to stay
permanently in their positions, after demonstrating a strong record of teaching and published research.
Term: Periods of study, which can include semesters, quarters, trimesters, or summer sessions.
Thesis: A formal piece of writing on a specific subject, which may be required to earn a bachelor's or
master's degree.
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): A standardized exam administered by the nonprofit
Educational Testing Service (ETS), which measures English-language proficiency in reading, listening,
speaking, and writing. Many U.S. colleges and universities require non-native English speakers to take
the TOEFL and submit their scores as part of the admissions process.
Transcript: An official record of a student's coursework and grades at a high school, college, or
university. A high school transcript is usually one of the required components of the college application
process.
Transfer credit: Credit granted toward a degree on the basis of studies completed at another college or
university. For instance, students who transfer from a community college to a four-year college may
earn some transfer credit.
Trimesters: Periods of study that divide the academic year into three equal segments of approximately
10 to 12 weeks each.
Tuition: An amount of money charged by a school per term, per course, or per credit, in exchange for
instruction and training. Tuition generally does not include the cost of textbooks, room and board, and
other fees.
U
Undergraduate student / undergraduate studies: A student enrolled in a two-year or four-year study
program at a college or university after graduation from high school, leading to an associate or
bachelor's degree.
University: A postsecondary institution that typically offers both undergraduate and graduate degree
programs. "University" is often used interchangeably with "college" and "school."
V
Visa: An official mark or stamp in a passport that allows someone to enter a country for a particular
amount of time. Common visa types for international students and scholars in the United States include
the F-1 (student visa) and J-1 (exchange visitor visa). To apply for a U.S. visa, student applicants must
first receive a Form I-20 from the college or university they plan to attend, which is created by the U.S.
government's SEVIS database.
W
Wait list: A list of qualified applicants to a school who may be offered admission if there is space
available after all admitted students have made their decisions. Being on a wait list does not guarantee
eventual admission, so some students may choose not to remain on the list, particularly if the school is
not their first choice.

Withdraw: To formally stop participating in a course or attending a university.
Work-study: A financial aid program funded by the U.S. federal government that allows undergraduate
or graduate students to work part time on campus or with approved off-campus employers. To
participate in work-study, students must complete the FAFSA. In general, international students are not
eligible for work-study positions.

How and Why to Get an On-Campus Job
Many students want or need to work during college, but not all jobs are created equal. Working on
campus is something every student should give serious consideration.
There are special advantages of working on campus. Here are a few:
1. A school-friendly schedule: No one understands the demands on a college student quite like campus
employers. They're also familiar with the college schedule, including breaks and finals, and tend to work
around those if possible.
2. A financial solution: A campus job can sometimes be part of a student's financial package, in the form
of a work-study job. Filling out the FAFSA will help student know if he or she is eligible for this kind of
aid.
3. Caring adults: College is a time of transition. Most students aren't children anymore, but they aren't
quite adults, either—at least when they first arrive at school. A campus job ensures that your child will
regularly come into contact with adults who generally have his or her best interest in mind.
4. Great references: Those caring adults mentioned above can also be the source of some great
references for future employment or graduate school. If your student works to secure a job in his or her
field of study, those references will be even more valuable.
Few ways to make your campus job search more successful:

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

76

1. Cast a wide net: You can apply for 10 campus jobs at the beginning of the year, get interviews, and
only one ended up working out. If you're really interested in a campus job, don't be too picky about
which one it is; most of them are relatively similar.
2. Follow up: Supervisors for campus jobs differ from supervisors at other jobs, because they often
double as lecturers, researchers, authors, and more.
Hiring a student assistant is not always at the top of their to-do lists, so keeping in touch with them may
be what sets you apart from the rest of the applicants.
3. Be professional: It may sound like common sense to be professional in a job interview, but I have
seen too many of my peers go to interviews underdressed or acting too informal.
A campus job interview is still an interview, so treat it like one. Shake the person's hand, show up five
minutes early, and never wear jeans. These are some of the easiest ways to show the employer that you
are serious about the position.
6 Ways College Students Can Find Summer Jobs
Finding a job in this economy is difficult for anyone, but some evidence suggests teens are among the
hardest hit. If a summer job for yourself or your college student is on your to-do list, consider these
ideas to help make it happen.
Students are now talking about summer jobs. There's a lot of anxiety about their availability.
Most students want and need a summer job as a way to finance their education. But finding a job isn't
as easy as just wanting one. Here are some suggestions of places to start:
1. Contact past employers: Assuming the student has been a good worker in the past, it makes sense to
get in touch with those who know this. Even if the job held prior isn't available, some employers will find
a position for the right worker.
2. Check university job boards: We've blogged before about how a part-time job at school has some
great advantages for students, and there may be summer positions available if the student is free to stay
after the semester wraps up.
3. Create a job: I've known several students who have run lucrative summer lawn care businesses. I've
known others who have organized informal summer camps for kids. An enterprising student may have
better results creating a job than finding one, and the experience can be valuable as well.
Right about this time of year, this question begins to circulate among my friends: "What are you doing
this summer?" Answers include studying abroad, vacations, and summer classes, but most of my friends
will be working full- or part-time jobs.
The lucky ones are returning to a job from last summer, but the rest are left to spend the next several
months on the job hunt. Here are some additional strategies to make that search a little easier:
1. Consider a new market: If you're someone who normally goes home for the summer vacation,
consider looking for jobs in your college town, which may be relatively deserted over the summer.
Conversely, don't rule out potential jobs in your hometown, even if you're used to staying at school for
the summer.

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

77

2. Use family and friends: Working for a relative or family friend may not be your ideal summer job. If
you're struggling to find a job, however, those connections can be a fairly secure option in case
something else doesn't come along.
3. Combine multiple positions: If you can't find that one full-time position, try taking more than one
part-time job to meet your financial needs. This is especially helpful if your employer ends up needing
you for fewer hours than you expected.
By taking on an extra job, you can maximize your time over the summer to still make the amount of
money you want.
An International Student's Guide to U.S. Scholarships
http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/the-scholarship-coach/2012/03/22/an-international-
students-guide-to-us-scholarships
The idea of the "American Dream" means many things to many people, but one of its most common—
and important—elements is the ability to further one's self by getting a college education. And for
students born outside the United States, scholarships can be an invaluable help toward achieving that
dream. Whether you're a new immigrant, a student going on to graduate school, or a learner returning
to college, there's international scholarship assistance out there for your studies in the United States.
Before you do any scholarship searching, it's important to know that you should never have to pay to
find or apply for scholarships. If a scholarship search engine or application asks you for a credit card or
other financial information before you can use it, stay away. Reputable scholarships never charge to
apply, and there are plenty of excellent free search engines. (Scholarship Experts, in particular, features
a search specific to international students.)
One of your best sources of financial aid will be the college you attend. If you were born outside the
United States but are now a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, start by looking at colleges within the
state where you live. Generally speaking, state residents pay a much lower tuition rate than out-of-state
residents.
For example, a year of tuition and fees at the University of Virginia costs around $12,000 for students
who live in Virginia, and around $36,000 for those who don't. Establishing residency in a state can
instantly cut a great deal off of your ultimate college price tag.
If you don't live in the United States, you can do some very thorough research on colleges and financial
aid opportunities at EducationUSA. This service of the U.S. Department of State and the Institute of
International Education provides a ton of online information; there is also a frequently updated list of
financial aid opportunities and, most usefully, a guide to advising centers in countries around the world,
where you can meet face-to-face with experts in your country that can help you search schools,
translate information, and learn about your options.
You should also take a look at ForeignBorn.com for useful information on applying to schools, obtaining
a student visa, and more.
No matter where you live, or decide to go to school, your college's financial aid office (and its website)
should be your next stop. Most colleges have scholarship programs specifically for international

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

78

students attending their institutions. To use just one example, the University of Oregon awards more
than $1 million each year to students born outside the United States.
You'll notice on that page that some of this funding is for students from specific countries, some is open
to students worldwide, and some requires that you study a certain field or do specific customer
service—it can be confusing, but college admissions officers and financial aid experts are there to help
you find as much money as you qualify for.
These resources will go a long way in helping with your education in the United States, no matter where
you're from; you can also seek out opportunities specific to your country or even your gender. If you're a
native of a Latin American or Caribbean nation, check out the listing of scholarships provided by the
Organization of American States's Leo. S. Rowe Pan American Fund. The fund exists to provide interest-
free student loans to students, and this brochure also features a useful listing of scholarship
opportunities sorted by your country of residence.
If you live in one of the 17 countries (across four continents) where the Aga Khan Foundation has a
presence, and you're doing graduate or postgraduate work, don't miss out on the Foundation's
International Scholarship Programme, though note that awards made through this program are 50
percent scholarship and 50 percent loan, so you will have to pay part of the award back over time.
And, finally, if you're a female graduate student and a non-U.S. resident, the venerable AAUW
International Fellowship provides a tremendous opportunity; in 2011, the fellowship program awarded
nearly $1 million to women dedicated to improving life in their home countries. This highly competitive
program usually opens in August for the next academic year, so keep it in mind if you're an exemplary
grad or postgrad student.
10 Colleges That Give the Most International Student Financial Aid
These elite institutions may help admitted students from abroad with funding.
The U.S. News Short List, separate from our overall rankings, is a regular series that magnifies individual
data points in hopes of providing students and parents a way to find which undergraduate or graduate
programs excel or have room to grow in specific areas. Be sure to explore The Short List: College and
The Short List: Grad School to find data that matters to you in your college or grad school search.
Good news for international students interested in top-ranked U.S. colleges: There may be financial aid
for you.
Studying in the United States can be quite expensive for international students, who aren't eligible for
federal financial aid programs and who may be charged additional fees for special services and
programming. But many colleges do offer some sort of aid to help students from overseas pay for
college.
In an annual U.S. News & World Report survey, 806 colleges reported offering financial aid to at least
one international student for the 2011-2012 school year. Of those institutions, 350 reported offering
financial aid to 50 or more students from abroad—making the schools eligible for the top 10 list below.
Each school on this list is a private institution, and most are located in the Northeast quadrant of the
United States. Many are very highly ranked, representing the upper echelons of both the Best National

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

Universities and Best National Liberal Arts Colleges rankings lists. (Unranked colleges, which did not
submit enough data for U.S. News to calculate numerical rankings, were not considered for this list.)
Keep in mind that these elite institutions have stringent admissions standards. Students first have to be
accepted to a U.S. university to be offered financial aid, and the totals below are averages of what
international students received. Not every student at Yale University, for instance, received $53,255;
rather, that was the average package among all international students who received aid.
These are the 10 schools that awarded the highest average financial aid awards to their international
students for the school year:

international student enrollment and financial aid, complete rankings, and much more.
The Best Colleges and Universities
http://www.internationalstudent.com/schools_awarding_aid/
US Schools That Offer Need-Blind and Full-Need Admission to International Students - under a need-
blind admissions policy, a college or university will admit students regardless of their ability to pay, and
for any students that cannot afford the price tag, full-need means the university awards scholarships
and other institutional aid to make up the difference. There are now six US schools that offer need-blind
and full-need admissions to international students - Amherst College is the most recent to join this elite
group. Basically, if you can get in, you can afford to go - they are:
 MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Massachusetts
 Harvard University in Massachusetts
 Princeton University in New Jersey
 Yale University in Connecticut
 Dartmouth College in New Hampshire
 Amherst College in Massachusetts
If you would like to learn more about these schools InternationalStudent.com offers a free school search
that will allow you to find out more information about the school. The school directory will allow you to
search by state, you can then locate your school - from there you will be given the main school website
and related department websites.
5 Scholarships for In-Demand College Majors
There are several scholarships available for students who plan on majoring in finance or STEM subjects.
Selecting a college major can be one of the easiest – or most difficult – decisions a person can make in
their lifetime.
Some of you have known you've wanted to become a veterinarian since the day you brought home your
fifth grade classroom's pet hamster. For others, choosing between economics or nursing will be a
decision you grapple with even after you force yourself to decide at the end of your sophomore year of
college.

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

If you're completely undecided and need a push in a certain direction, you may want to see if your
interests align with one of these hot, high-paying majors, and then check out the corresponding
scholarships.
Take note that those interested in a career in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) will
have a leg up on everyone else.
1. Engineering: By far the hottest major out there right now is engineering of practically any sort.
From petroleum to electrical to aerospace engineering, there is a huge demand for all kinds of engineers
– and that's reflected in the average starting salary of $51,700 to $97,900, according to the online salary
database PayScale.
Unfortunately, your first paycheck four years from now can't go toward your tuition payment today, so
we suggest you turn to scholarships for help.
The SMART Scholarship (Science, Mathematics & Research for Transformation), established by the
Department of Defense, offers a huge incentive for engineering and math majors studying in the U.S. by
covering full tuition and education-related fees, offering paid summer internships, a health insurance
reimbursement, mentoring and more.
The catch is that you have to be willing to work for the Department of Defense after graduation.
2. Computer science: Many of you have likely heard of the huge array of perks that working for a Silicon
Valley company can bring. From free gyms, haircuts and massages to game rooms and swimming pools,
companies like Google know how to keep employees in the office.
With an average starting salary of more than $55,000, according to PayScale, the pay isn't too shabby,
either. However, we don't recommend that you become a computer science major for the slim
possibility that you could end up working for Google.
But if you're interested in building the next great iPhone app and like the look of that starting salary, a
career in computer science may be perfect for you – especially because the chances of finding a well-
paying job after graduation look good.
Those considering majoring in computer science should think about applying for the Wayne V. Black
Memorial Scholarship, a $5,000 award from the Energy Telecommunications and Electrical Association.
3. Finance: When you got your first allowance money or your first paycheck as a fast food employee, did
you immediately start figuring out what to spend, what to save and how to invest it?
Maybe you weren't playing the stock market, but if you've always loved balancing your checkbook, a
career in finance could be right up your alley. You'll also have plenty of money to play with outside of
work, since finance careers are generally lucrative.
If you're interested in government finance, check out the scholarships offered by the Government
Finance Officers Association. Scholarships range from a $10,000 scholarship studying government
finance at the graduate level to scholarships for minority students studying governmental finance or
other related fields.
4. Applied and general mathematics: If you've always loved crunching numbers, you may want to
consider a career in mathematics or statistics, especially because the career outlook for recent math

major grads is fantastic, and the average starting salary at around $50,000, per PayScale, isn't half bad
either.
But if your calculations for how you're going to afford college just aren't adding up, we suggest you look
for math-related scholarships to offset the cost.

And if you're a woman, we suggest you look first at the Association for Women in Mathematics' Alice T.
Shafer Prize for Excellence in Mathematics, open to undergraduate women interested in math. The 2014
Schafer Prize will be awarded at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Baltimore in January 2014.
5. Economics: Finally, a high-paying major for those of us who loathe math and science!
Well, that's not exactly true. Econ majors will have to endure math and statistics classes, and the
highest-paying jobs do fall in the banking and finance fields. But you can also use a degree in economics
to establish a career in law, consulting or government and nonprofit work.
To find scholarships for economics majors, we suggest you check with your college or university's
financial aid office. Most will offer scholarships for those studying economics.
For example, the University of South Dakota offers eight scholarships that are available to econ majors,
and Boise State University has five economics scholarships.
Compare 5 Top Scholarship Search Engines
http://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/the-scholarship-coach/2011/01/20/compare-5-top-
scholarship-search-engines
There are so many free scholarship search engines available to students online—you'll get about 7
million results by Googling "scholarship search"—that it can be difficult to know which websites to use.
It's a good idea to set up profiles on multiple sites so you catch as many opportunities as possible.
Which sites you choose is up to you, but in case you need some help with your decision making, I've
looked at three key elements of several free search engines: how often their data is updated, whether
they keep your information private, and what's unique about each of them.
1. CollegeBoard.com: The College Board was founded in 1900 and currently helps 7 million students
annually prepare for higher education. The College Board began publishing their book of scholarships in
1997 and since then has made the information available online. Their scholarship database contains
more than 2,300 scholarship opportunities, totaling nearly $3 billion.
Timely? Yes. Staff perform a mass update of all scholarships annually; changes, corrections, additions,
and deletions are also handled monthly.
Private? Absolutely. College Board only uses your information to help you and to improve its services.
They do not rent or sell your information. Period.
Unique? Yes, for a couple reasons. College Board's database and printed handbook are broadly
relevant—you won't find scholarships here that are intended for use at just one institution. And because
of The College Board's role as the organization behind the SAT, AP exams, etc., they have rigorous
standards for the scholarships they include in their database, including only those scholarships with a
documented history from a well-established sponsor.

coach/2011/01/06/7-prestigious-undergrad-scholarships.html
2. CollegeNet.com: CollegeNET is a technology company that builds web-based tools for event and
academic scheduling, prospect and admissions management, tuition processing, and alumni
development for colleges and universities. CollegeNET also operates a scholarship search engine and
social network where students create topics, participate in discussions, and vote on scholarship winners.
Timely? Yes. CollegeNET.com updates its data monthly through its license agreement with data
aggregator Wintergreen Orchard House.
Private? Yes. CollegeNET.com's privacy policy states, "We do not rent or sell personal information to
third parties." However, if you are awarded a scholarship, you can opt in to their Scholarship Election
System and share your data with the school that you designate.
Unique? Yes. In addition to the scholarship search, CollegeNET.com hosts an online community that
invites students to create topics in an open forum, share their comments, and vote online to determine
who is leading the most interesting conversation. By the end of the voting cycle every Wednesday, the
student with the most votes wins between $3,000-$5,000 in scholarship money. This social networking
scholarship is open to all students and is not based on traditional factors like GPA, age, or income level;
you are not required to write essays, and the scholarship process is voted upon by your peers, rather
than a panel of judges.

101/2010/05/18/5-ways-you-can-create-more-scholarships.html
3. Fastweb: Fastweb, which has helped 50 million students find money since the site was founded 15
years ago, was the first online scholarship matching service and the first free national scholarship
matching service. Fastweb's site indicates they currently have roughly 1.5 million scholarships worth
$3.4 billion in their database.
Timely? Definitely. According to Fastweb, they update their database daily—which would make them
the timeliest of the five mentioned in this post. To assist in their process, Fastweb expires scholarships
from their database after 11 months, forcing them to update the information before it can be relisted.
Private? Yes, unless you expressly agree (opt in) to allow your information to be shared with third
parties. Fastweb's privacy policy states that they do not share any information that can be tied to you
without your permission.
Unique? Sure. Fastweb compiles their scholarship data in-house, and when new scholarships are added
they send an E-mail notification to every student who matches the award.

4. Scholarships.com: Founded in 1999, Scholarships.com now claims to be the largest free and
independent scholarship search and financial aid information resource on the Internet, with more than
2.7 million scholarships worth a total of $19 billion in their database.
Timely? Yes. Vice President Kevin Ladd says their database is updated daily. "We encourage scholarship
providers to not only submit their scholarship to be included in our database, but also to update them."

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

83

They also have a staff to review new and edited listings, and "every few months or so" they review all
scholarships for changes, errors, or inconsistencies.
Private? You bet. Users supply only the information they choose and are offered opportunities to opt
out of receiving anything they don't want—even at the time of registration. (See Scholarships.com's
privacy policy.)
Unique? Maybe. Ladd and the folks at Scholarships.com feel their database and user experience is
superior to all others out there and that their resources and the effort they put into making sure the
information they have is useful is unmatched.
5. ScholarshipMonkey.com: ScholarshipMonkey.com claims their database provides students access to
more than 1 million undergraduate, graduate, and professional scholarship awards worth in excess of $3
billion from greater than 4,000 sources. Like the other search engines in this article, they are committed
to providing their service free of charge.
Timely? Perhaps. ScholarshipMonkey.com states that "the scholarship database is continuously updated
by the company's Scholarship Team to ensure you are receiving the most relevant and useful
information." Unlike the other search engine sites, ScholarshipMonkey.com did not provide specific
timing for their updates.
Private? No, unless you opt out from receiving information from third parties via E-mail or snail mail.
Unique? Your scholarship search will be led by a talking monkey (er, chimp). 'Nuff said.
Overseas Scholarships
USIEF offers a wide range of exchange opportunities to Indian citizens in three main categories:
 Student Awards to pursue a master's degree or attend a US university as a visiting student
researcher,
 Scholars and Teacher Awards for academics, teachers and professionals to teach or conduct
research in the US, and
 Professional Development Programs for leadership and skill development.
Some have good GRE scores, some have good Acads, Some have good leadership skills, some have good
goals stated in Essays, etc. The point is, not everyone are perfect and scholarship committee looks at
your scholarship application for MS or MBA as a whole and comes to a decision. As always, the
scholarship you are applying to defines what they are looking for. You will have to read the
requirements and what they need and present yourself accordingly.
The whole idea is there are different deadlines for both. You have to clearly look for Financial aid vs
Admission deadlines. For instance, look at General Fall deadlines for University of Houston Clearlake
Scholarship Deadline, it is April 1
(http://prtl.uhcl.edu/portal/page/portal/FAO/Scholarships/Dollars_for_Scholars)
But, the International Admission deadline is June 1.If you see, the scholarship deadline is like at least 2
months ahead of time.
(http://prtl.uhcl.edu/portal/page/portal/ADM/Future_students/InternationalStudentsApplicationDeadli
nes)

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

Key thing is you have to send your stuff before the scholarship deadline to be considered for the
scholarship.
Here is what worked out for me and it is recommended by many others in terms of application process
to get into good schools.

25 Great Scholarships For Students
Various loans

How much loan can I take? - Most of the banks provide loans upto Rs. 20 lakhs for studying abroad.
Which banks in India provide Educational Loan?- SBI, Bank of Maharashtra, IDBI, Allahabad Bank, OBC,
UBI, Bank of Baroda are some of the banks that provide educational loan.
What are the interest rates?- Interest Rate of various banks differs.
Which documents have to be furnished to avail the loan?
 Completely filled Application Form with Photographs.
 Letter of admission from the Institute.
 Letter from the Institute stating expenses of the program (term-wise, year-wise)
 Documents for the Applicant & Co-applicant (Residence Proof , ID Proof , Signature Verification
Proof , Age proof )

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

88

 Mark sheets from SSC onwards till the latest examination passed.
 Income Documents of the Co-applicant ( Pay Slips / ITR copy etc )
 Visa approval papers
 Travel documents
 GRE/GMAT/SAT score
 I-20 in case of applicant going to the USA
 Declaration/Affidavit confirming that no loan has been availed from other Bank/Institution
What are the criteria for a good Educational loan?
 Lowest Interest Rate
 No prepayment penalty
 Minimum or no collateral required
 Flexible repayment options
 Student Loan deferment options
Indian banks allow you to repay within 5-7 years after the commencement of repayment. Repayment
will commence one year after completion of course or 6 months after securing a job, whichever is
earlier. Repayment of an international student loan can be deferred while you are enrolled full-time,
and for six months after you finish. After that, you will have up to 20 years to repay the loan, with a
payment due every month.
Overseas Loans
Education loans aren't one size fits all. You should consider the following things while evaluating the
best loan option for yourself:
Interest Rate: Some banks offer fixed rate and some offer variable rate option. A fixed rate stays the
same for the life of the loan, while variable rates change quarterly, and may go up or down. Be sure to
compare different options.
Pay attention to the terms : The interest rate of your Study Abroad loan may vary depending on whether
you repay the loan immediately or wait until after graduation to start repaying. Having a co-borrower
can also have an impact on the rate of a loan.
Check the Hidden Costs : The hidden costs for borrowing loan can have a big impact on your overall cost
of borrowing. Examine carefully terms like Application Fee, Origination Fee, and Default Fee.
Prepayment Penalty : Is there any penalty for early repayment? What's the penalty for a missed or late
payment?
Get the proper advice and support you need : Choose the right loan option as per your financial
situation. Learn about the impact of deferring repayment and choosing a long repayment term. Putting
off payments and having smaller monthly payments might increase your total cost of borrowing.
International versus Indian Banks : US students can receive federal loans guaranteed by the government,
but these valuable loans are not available to international students. Luckily, private student loans are
available to international students. The loans are cheaper compared to those available in India if an
international student is fortunate to get the loan. The interest rate is around 4-6% compared to around
12 % in India.

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

89

International Student Loans : U.S Banks offer students loan to international students if the loan is co-
signed by a creditworthy US citizen or permanent resident (holder of a "green card"). International
students may choose from the following international student loan option:
Global Student Loan Corporation: GSLC offers student loans for International students that do not
require a co-signer in the host country. You do not require a U.S. cosigner if you plan to study in U.S. In
addition to covering your tuition, the Global Student Loan provides funding for other school essentials
such as computers, insurance, communications, travel, and housing.
Federal student loans are popular with US students in the USA, but they are not available to
international students. International Student Loans are specialized private education loans that are
available for international students who are studying in the USA. International students will have to
apply with a qualified co-signer and should only apply for international student loans after exhausting all
scholarships, personal funds and other options.
International Student Loan Program (ISLP) and Study Abroad Loan Program (SALP):
In order to be eligible for international student loan program (ISLP) you should be
Non U.S. citizens or non-citizen permanent resident attending an eligible U.S. college or university
Have a creditworthy cosigner who is a U.S. citizen or a non-citizen permanent resident.
The minimum loan amount is $1,500 per academic year. Students may take up to 25 years to repay the
loan. SALP is an alternative loan program for US citizens to study abroad.
Canadian Higher Education Loan Program (CanHELP): CanHELP is an alternative loan program for
Canadian university students to study in America and approved schools throughout the world. Graduate
students may borrow a maximum of $15,000 per year without a co-signer, or up to cost of education
with a co-signer. Students can repay loan upto 20 years. Graduate students can apply without a co-
signer if they pay a 7.5% guarantee fee at disbursement and a 2% guarantee fee at repayment which will
be financed into the loan. Undergraduate students are required to have creditworthy Canadian citizen
as co-signer.
International Student Loans
As the number of international students studying in the USA continues to increase, the need for
international financial aid is constantly growing. To address this need, we provide access to loans for
non-US Citizens from anywhere in the world who are planning to study at approved schools throughout
the USA.
We have been a leader in providing loans for international students since 1998, and thousands of
international students have applied for loans through our programs. Over the past two years, the credit
crunch and legislation has changed the student loan landscape dramatically, and the options available to
international students have been reduced. However, there are still loans available for international
students, and International Student Loan makes sure to bring the best available loans on the market to
international students. Click on the Apply Now button to start your application.
Co-Signer Required for All Applicants
The Co-Signer must be a US citizen or permanent resident, with good credit, income history and who has
lived in the USA for the past 2 years.

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

90

Typically students can borrow up to their school's total cost of attendance, as determined by the school,
minus any other aid received. Total cost of attendance includes room and board and other living
expenses. International students are required to have a US Citizen or permanent resident as a co-signer
to apply for this loan. International student loans typically also offer:
 No collateral required
 Flexible repayment terms
 Online application
 and much more.....
International Student Loan is pleased to bring you the first loan comparison tool for international
students. We understand that studying in the United States may require you to secure additional
financial aid to make that dream possible. That's why we have developed a private loan comparison tool
of all lenders that provide loans to international students. We have made the loan process easy, quick
and simple, comparing those lenders that will help secure your education to the United States.
Private International Student Loans
Many international students studying in the United States will find that expenses can add up! With
tuition, books, transportation, and living expenses, many international students may soon realize that
they cannot financial support their educational studies entirely on their own. However, don't let this
deter your dream of getting an education in the United States. That's where private student loans come
in! Private student loans are available to international students to help cover these costs while studying
in the US.
Eligibility Requirements
All international students must have a US co-signer in order to apply for a student loan. A co-signer is
legally obligated to repay the loan if the borrower fails to pay. Often times, the cosigner is a close friend
or relative that can assist in getting credit since most international students cannot receive credit on
their own. That co-signer must be a US citizen or permanent resident, with good credit, who has lived in
the US for the past two years.
Application Process
You can begin the loan application simply by doing a loan comparison that will allow you to choose the
lender best suited for you. To make the process go as quickly as possible, you and your co-signer will
need to complete the entire online application thoroughly. Initial credit approval or denial is very quick
and typically takes 2-6 weeks from initial approval.
Interest Rate Explained
When you take out a loan through a lender, you will be responsible for paying back the amount of
money you borrowed (called the principal) plus an additional amount charged by the lender for the loan
(called interest).
The interest rate is calculated based on an index plus a margin that will add an additional percentage
interest rate depending on your cosigner's creditworthiness. The two most common indexes used for
international student loans are the Prime Rate and LIBOR Rate:

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

91

 Prime Interest Rate - This index is determined by the federal funds rate which is set by the US
Federal Reserve. This is the rate in which banks lend to one another and in many cases the
interest rate which commercial banks charge their most creditworthy clients.
 LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) - Like the Prime Rate, the LIBOR is the interest rate that
banks borrow from other banks. This rate is based on the British Bankers' Association and used
on the London interbank market. The rate is an average of the world's most creditworthy bank's
interbank deposit rates for overnight and one year terms.
When evaluating the loan, the lender will clarify which index the plan uses. Then, there will be an
additional margin that will be added to this index based on the borrower's individual criteria, including
the co-signer's credit history. Based on their creditworthiness, an additional interest rate will be added
to the index which will be the total interest rate you owe. This will appear on your final loan paperwork
as Libor + 2.8%. The application is free, and when your application is approved, your specific margin will
be disclosed to you. At that point you can accept or refuse the loan. Currently the rates are anywhere
between 2.25% APR and 9.11% APR.
Loan Repayment
Repayment will depend on the loan option you choose. Many international students must consider this
as an important feature of their loan since most students cannot work while they study in the United
States. Because of this, it is important to consider how much the monthly payments will be, when
payments will begin, and how long students may be able to defer paying back the loan. The repayment
period typically ranges from 10-25 years, however the larger the loan the longer the loan repayment
period. There are standard repayment plan options depending on the loan you select:
 Full Deferral - Students are able to defer payment of the interest and principal until 6 months
after graduation as long as full-time status is maintained. Students can defer payments for a
maximum of 4 years consecutively which is the typical length of a degree seeking student
 Interest Only - International students only pay the interest while in school, up to 4 consecutive
years, and can defer the principal until 45 days after graduation or when students drop their
course load to part-time.
 Immediate Repayment - Payments on both interest and principal are due immediately once the
loan has been issued and dispersed.

You can compare lenders and apply right online. Instant approval of your loan can be as quick as a few
weeks. Click here to start your loan application.

Students who are not U.S. citizens or non-citizen permanent residents and who are attending an eligible
U.S. college or university.
Borrowers are required to have a creditworthy cosigner who is a U.S. citizen or a non-citizen permanent
resident. Students who are not U.S. citizens or non-citizen permanent residents and who are attending
schools outside the U.S. are not currently eligible for our loans.

What loans are available?
We have designed the first ever international student loan comparison tool that will match you with
lenders based on your needs. Simply complete a quick application and we will match you with all of the
available lenders. To see which loans work for you, check out our international student loan comparison
tool. With these loan options, students can borrow up to the full cost of their education, minus other aid
received. Our loans help students save money, build good credit, and pay off their student loan faster.
What can international student loans be used for?
International student loans, like all private education loans, can be used for education-related expenses
including such things as tuition, books, fees, insurance, transportation, room and board and other
school-related expenses.
What is the maximum loan amount that I can apply for?
You can apply for up to the total cost of education, minus other aid, as determined by your school. To
determine your maximum loan amount, or what can be included in your loan, you will need to contact
your school's financial aid office. After you apply and receive credit approval for you and your co-signer,
your school must certify the amount of the loan.
I'm a non-US citizen nor a US-permanent resident studying in a destination outside the US, am I eligible
for a loan?
Unfortunately, our loan programs are for international students from anywhere in the world studying in
the United States, or for US students studying abroad. We do not currently have a program for
international students studying elsewhere in the world, even with a US co-signer.
What if no lenders appear on my comparison tool?
Unfortunately if there are no lenders that appear after you do the comparison tool, then we do not have
a loan program for the school. Our best advice is to contact your school, as they should know if there are
any loan programs available to their international students.
When I take out a student loan, how much do I pay back and when?
The interest rate and repayment will depend on the loan option and lender you select. After you select
the loan that works best for you, you will need to review the terms or contact the lender directly with
your questions. The interest rate is calculated based on an index plus a margin that will add an
additional percentage interest rate depending on your cosigner's creditworthiness. Based on their
creditworthiness, an additional interest rate will be added to the index which will be the total interest
rate you owe and at that point you can determine whether you'd like to proceed. Every lender's range
varies so it is important to do the loan comparison and review the interest rate and repayment terms.
What if I do not have a co-signer? What if my co-signer is a non-US citizen? Or, how can I find a co-
signer?
Unfortunately a co-signer is required for all international student loan programs. The co-signer must be
a US citizen or US permanent resident, with good credit, who has lived in the US for the past two years.
Non-US citizens or non-US permanent residents cannot act as a cosigner. Although we are not able to
assist with finding a co-signer, it is common to ask close friends or family members.
Can I apply for an international student loan before being accepted to my school?

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

While you can begin the loan application prior to being accepted to your school, you will need to be
accepted with your student visa to finalize the loan.
What if I need to show proof of funds before I obtain a visa? Can I show this loan as satisfying this
requirement?
Some students are able to use loan approval as proof of funds, but it's not easy and it's up to the school
and consular officer if they'll accept a loan approval as proper funds. You would need to apply for the
loan now, list the school you plan to attend, get initially approved based on the credit of your co-signer,
then use that initial approval to complete your acceptance to the school.
I need proof of funds before I can enroll, can I use loans?
Typically you need to be admitted and enrolled, and have your visa, in order to apply. Some students are
able to use loan approval as proof of funds, but its not easy and its up to the school and consular officer
if they'll accept a loan approval as proper funds. You would need to apply for the loan, list the school
you plan to attend, get initially approved based on the credit of your co-signer, then use that initial
approval to complete your acceptance to the school.
You will also have to provide a valid student visa in order to finalize the loan. After you apply and receive
credit approval for you and your co-signer, your school must certify the amount of the loan. The
proceeds are then disbursed directly to the school.
My school is not on the list, can I still get a loan?
If your school does not appear on our eligible school list, then we unfortunately do not have a loan
program for you. We recommend contacting your school directly as they may know if there are any loan
programs available to their international students.
Are there application deadlines?
No. You may apply for an International Student Loan at any time.
If I obtained a loan last year, can I get another loan again this year?
Yes. You can reapply each academic term for a loan.
What is an International Student Loan?
Federal student loans are popular with US students in the USA, but they are not available to
international students. International Student Loans are specialized private education loans that are
available for international students who are studying in the USA. International students will have to
apply with a qualified co-signer and should only apply for international student loans after exhausting all
scholarships, personal funds and other options.
Before applying, please visit these international education financing guides:
International Education Financial Aid (IEFA) - http://www.iefa.org/
International Scholarships - http://www.internationalscholarships.com/
International Financial Aid Blog - http://www.internationalfinancialaidblog.com/
Lenders typically give better terms for better credit history, so when you apply find a co-signer with the
best credit history to improve your rates and fees.

Who can get Stafford loans?
Graduate school students who are U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents, or eligible non-citizens who
have been accepted at a U.S. school can get unsubsidized Stafford loans. Students cannot have
defaulted on other federal student loans in the past and must attend school at least half time to qualify.

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

95

How much can I borrow from the Stafford program?
Graduate students can borrow up to $20,500 a year in Stafford loans, and up to $138,500 total for their
studies (including any Stafford loans taken out during college).
Students in certain health fields have higher maximums, and can borrow up to $47,167 a year and up to
$224,000 in total through the Stafford program.
How much do Stafford loans cost?
Staffords charge a fixed rate of 6.8 percent, plus up-front fees of 1 percent of the amount borrowed.
Those rates may increase due to a series of federal budget cuts known as sequestration, which went into
effect on March 1, 2013. When the rates will rise, and by how much, have yet to be determined.
All Stafford loans for graduate students are unsubsidized, meaning interest will accumulate on the loans
while students are in school.
How do I get a Stafford loan?
You must fill out a FAFSA. For unsubsidized Stafford loans, students do not need to demonstrate
financial need.
Does every grad student get approved for a Stafford loan?
No. Students who are not eligible for the program, who have defaulted on other college loans, or who
are attending school only part time do not qualify.
What if I have bad credit?
You can get a Stafford loan if you've defaulted on a mortgage, car, credit card, or medical bills. The
federal government does not do a regular credit check for Stafford loans. It only rejects applicants who
have defaulted on other federal education loans.
What if I need more money than the Stafford maximums?
You can borrow up to your full cost of attendance from the federal Graduate PLUS program. But those
have higher fees and interest and are not awarded to students with bad credit.
How is the credit crunch affecting Stafford loans?
Stafford loans are funded and made entirely by the federal government. So they remain available to all
qualified students.
Are Stafford loan payments tax deductible?
It depends on your income when you start repaying. Generally, for a single person, education loan
interest is not deductible if your adjusted gross income is more than $75,000.
When do I have to start repaying my Stafford loan?
The first bill comes due six months after you've left school, whether that's after graduation or after
you've dropped out.
What are the advantages of a Stafford loan?
Stafford loans have a fixed interest rate, so the size of your monthly payment won’t increase if interest
rates rise. Through Income-Based Repayment, Stafford borrowers can ask to have their payments
capped at 15 percent of their disposable income. As of December 2012, borrowers who demonstrate

A ref. guide for Higher Education Earthsoft Foundation of Guidance

96

financial hardship can also opt for the Pay as You Earn plan, which caps payments at 10 percent of
discretionary income.
And public servants who make 10 years worth of income-based repayments can have their remaining
Stafford debts forgiven.
What happens if I lose my job or get into other financial trouble?
Call the Department of Education and ask about income-based payment options, such as the Pay as You
Earn plan. If that doesn't bring your payments down to an affordable level, you can also ask for either
"deferral" or "forbearance" of your payments, which could postpone or temporarily lower your payment
requirement.
What are the downsides of federal loans?
Unlike credit card debt and mortgages, which can be canceled if you file for bankruptcy, education loans
of all types—whether federal or private—must be paid. Most bankruptcy courts will not cancel them
unless your situation is extremely dire.
