Study in the U.S.A Opportunities

Studying in the USA is an ideal dream of every student. Probably due to efficient and sufficient education facilities. Earning a USA degree is a good decision since they are respected and recognized worldwide.
This degree would be a good motivation for building a good future, boosting your career and prospects for a higher salary. For international students (i.e. students outside of the US), many institutions are available to improve your qualification.

Admission Requirements for Undergraduate Studies.
Undergraduate education is referred to as College in the US.  Admission into colleges is very competitive. You would be in a disadvantaged position if you lack a strong academic background, sufficient funds, and proficiency in the English language since English is the main language used in US colleges.
Each school sets its own admission requirements. Most schools require a minimum of a high school diploma with solid coursework in science, mathematics, English, and humanities. They will also require academic entrance examinations such as the TOEFL, SAT, or ACT. The higher your scores on these exams and the better your grades, the better your chances of being admitted. Generally you must have a 3.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale to be admitted, especially for graduate school. Some schools set very high standards for admission.
Certain fields of study like engineering, computer science, pre-medicine, pre-law, architecture, and marine biology are highly competitive.
All applicants would be required to provide letters of recommendation. All letters of recommendation should be submitted directly to the department to which you are applying. Personal impressions of your intellectual ability, your aptitude in research or professional skills, your character, and the quality of your previous work and potential for future productive scholarship would be amongst several questions recommenders would be asked .

FINANCIAL AIDS FOR STUDIES IN THE USA
Financial Aid is available to international students to study in the USA. All aid is based on individual need, educational costs and availability of funds. Awards may consist of scholarships, loans, grants and/or employment. Many opportunities for grants for graduate study are available. However funds and scholarships are limited for international students. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete their applications early as priority is given to earlier applications.

COST OF LIVING IN USA
The cost for Tuition Fees for international students varies from $8,000 to $36,000 per year. The cost of living in USA depends on location. For example States like Washington, California and area around New York is expensive. In general Students from Africa may budget $4000 to $13,000 for cost of living. The hourly pay for on Campus jobs Pay from $5.15 to $15 per hour. Foreign Students can work on campus foe few hours per week. Students may be allowed to work out of campus (Internship) after nine months of their arrival at the university.
Students not receiving any aid must be prepared for tuition fees and Living cost for initial 2-3 months. So students must either have Scholarships or adequate Funds
