EducationUSA 5-week Intensive Application Workshop

  1. A letter of application
  2. Application form

Applying to a U.S. university for a graduate program can be a long and complicated process. You are required to take standardized exams (TOEFL, GRE, GMAT), identify sources of funding, get recommendation letters and write essays. Most importantly, you have to select a program that meets your academic experience and goals, which can be a challenge by itself since there are nearly 1,700 accredited graduate higher education institutions to choose from! This intensive application workshop will help guide you through the process and provide you with all of the necessary tools you will need to successfully apply to a graduate program in the U.S.

 

The intensive application workshop consists of weekly meetings with EducationUSA advisers, homework assignments and a final admissions essay (Statement of Purpose). Each meeting will last around one hour and take place at an EducationUSA Advising Center or online using Google Hangouts.

 

The workshop is open to current university students or recent graduates who are interested in applying to a graduate degree program in the U.S., and is required for all students who are interested in applying for Opportunity Funds. Students must contact an EducationUSA adviser by March 15, 2014 to register for the workshop.
