Those who wish to have a flavour of student life in the US will profit greatly by visiting the American Education Expo, organised by the International Student Network and the US Department of Commerce.
The ‘American Education Expo’ will be held at Hotel Park Sheraton, Chennai, on Friday, February 10 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. It will feature 20 of the top American colleges and universities eager to admit Indian students. The colleges are offering majors courses in Computer Engineering, Pharmaceutical and Chemical Engineering, Business Administration, and much more.
In addition to the opportunity to network with US admissions counsellors, the expo will also feature a scholarship fair hosted by the universities. Here, information on merit-based scholarships will be made available. Students should bring multiple copies of their report cards, transcripts and TOEFL scores to find out their eligibility for scholarships. This year, the universities are offering up to US $1 million in scholarships.
The fair will also provide information on community colleges in the US besides enabling easy transfer of community college credits to four-year universities. According to the organisers, beginning at a US community college can significantly decrease the overall cost.
The participating universities for undergraduate students are Mercer University and Oklahoma City University and for graduate students, it is IIT, Murray University, Purdue University-Calumet, Wisconsin University and others.
