Scholarships- If you’re interested in pursuing a Master’s degree in the U.S., we offer fully funded scholarships that can help you join the prestigious community of transnational scholars. Before applying, there are a few important things you should know.
To qualify for a Master’s program in the U.S., you need to have an internationally recognized bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification. You may also need to provide additional coursework, letters of recommendation, and proof of English proficiency if you’re not a native speaker. Your purpose statement should outline your goals and demonstrate your aptitude for the course.
Most U.S. universities have two application deadlines – an early one in December to January, and a regular one in March or April. You can apply to as many universities as you want, but keep in mind that there is usually an application fee. Foreign applicants will also need to obtain an F-1 nonimmigrant visa to study in the U.S.
