Языковые требования

● TOEFL: Minimum 80–100 iBT

Tuition and Living Costs

Scholarships

● Merit-based – for academic achievements

● Need-based – for students with financial difficulties

● Athletic and creative scholarships

Many universities offer financial aid covering up to 100% of tuition and living costs.

● Programs like Fulbright – for Master's and PhD students

You will need an F-1 student visa. After receiving your I-20 form from the university, you must pay the SEVIS fee and schedule a visa interview. Financial documentation is required to prove sufficient funding.

Visa and Legalization

Many students live on-campus (convenient, but more expensive). In later years, students often rent apartments off-campus.

Housing

You may be eligible for OPT – Optional Practical Training, which allows you to work for 1 year after graduation (up to 3 years for STEM fields). This is a legal pathway to stay and gain work experience. After OPT, you may apply for an H1B visa, which can eventually lead to permanent residency.
