Health insurance for international students in the US

Healthcare in the United States is very different from systems in other countries as there is no national or universal healthcare system that international students can access.  

Anyone who needs health insurance in the US must choose from individual private care providers and the plans they have on offer. International students will need to research health insurance options before they begin their studies in the US so that they are covered as soon as they arrive.

Scholarships available in the US for international students

Degrees in America are expensive, but an abundance of scholarships are available to help international students out. 

Almost all universities have scholarship programmes, most of which are open to applications from international students – although you may need to take SAT or ACT tests. Scholarships are typically assessed on either academic merit, financial need, or extracurricular contribution.

In addition to these, there are a range of scholarships available from private organisations and donors, with a broad range of criteria for eligibility.
