Question: I am writing to request information on the undergraduate program at your university. I am especially interested in chemistry, physics and Biology. I am currently in my fourth year in faculty of science (chemistry and physics department) in Assiut University, Egypt. And I would like to complete my studies at your university

Please include information about the possibilities for financial aid at your institution.

If you could send me these materials along with an application form and any special information for international students, I would be very grateful.

Answer: This website is dedicated to providing information on study in the U.S., we do not represent any specific institution. You will need to do some searching to find a university that offers the fields of study you are interested in.

You would be considered a graduate student since you will complete your undergraduate degree. Therefore you must find the graduate program that suits you. The following websites will help you with that search:

Question: I wanted to know if international students are eligible for FAFSA or only US citizens or permanent residents are? Also what other fellowship options do I have apart from TA/RA?

Answer: Hi,

International students are not eligible for FAFSA. Below find a list of websites that you can search to find funding:

Question: I was born in Chicago, Illinois and I live in Montevideo, Uruguay since I was 4 years old. I am civi engineer and I would like to specialize in the desing of precast concrete. I don't know which University is the best to study this. I also would like to know of financial aid.

Thanks in advanced

Answer: Hi Thank you for your question. I did a google search on Precast Concrete courses and came up with the following two schools. There may be more but I would suggest that you do a more comprehensive search on the google search engine.

PRESTRESSED CONCRETE DESIGN COURSE

Since 1993, the Oregon Precast Concrete Institute (OPCI) has sponsored CE486/586 Prestressed Concrete Design at Oregon State University (OSU). This course is offered each year during the winter term and is taught by Knife River Chief Engineer, Dr. Keith Kaufman.

Registration can be obtained for undergraduate and graduate credits or through OSU's Continuing Education Program. The course covers the basics of Prestressed Concrete Design. A Reinforced Concrete Design course is a prerequisite. PCI will provide a complimentary copy of the PCI Design Handbook, and a Manual For the Design of Hollow Core Slabs. The ACI 318 Building Code and Commentary is the main design reference. Post-tensioning and segmental construction concepts are introduced.

A typical class consists of 30-40 undergraduate, 5 graduate, and 5 continuing education students (consultants, public agency engineers, etc.) PCI and Knife River Prestressed Concrete Group will continue to offer students the opportunity to compete in the National Big Beam Contest. OSU and Knife River. have fielded teams annually since 2000, many having earned cash winnings and national recognition. The student teams must design, fabricate, and test a beam, and will compete nationally against similar teams from other schools. A report is generated and submitted to PCI that includes the details of the design, test predictions and results. The contest provides excellent exposure to the precast industry and plant fabrication. Students perform the work during the spring term at OSU and receive course credits for their efforts.

PCI CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

PCI Certification is the precast concrete structures industry’s most proven, comprehensive, trusted, and specified certification program. For more than 40 years, the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute has certified manufacturers of precast/prestressed concrete products.

Question: I would like to know more about the procedure regarding scholarship applications to U.S. universities.Thank you.

Answer: Hi,

Thank you for your question. There are many opportunities for funding for international students who wish to attend university in the U.S. especially at the graduate level. Each university may offer scholarships or you may go to outside sources. It will take some searching on your part. I suggest first search for the universities that offer the major you are interested in and then once you have found them you can see what funding they may offer. Be sure to let them know you need funding when you apply for admission.

Below are a list of websites that may help you in your search. Since you did not specify whether you are graduate or undergraduate I will enclude both:

http://www.lsac.org/ - Law School Admission Council

If you already have a Bachelor’s degree from a university in your own country you are eligible to apply to law schools. Ultimately you will have to select law schools, complete all application requirements, take the LSAT and arrange your financing.

The legal system in the United States, on the federal level and in almost all states, is based on the British system of common law. One state, Louisiana, has a system

modeled on the French legal code.

First Professional Degree

The U.S. first professional degree, the juris doctor (J.D.), provides an education strongly focused on preparation for U.S. practice, with little opportunity for comparative or

specialty study. For this reason, and because preparation in U.S. law will not easily transfer toward practice in other countries, the J.D. is usually inappropriate for foreign

nationals. Although law schools offer individual courses that emphasize particular subject areas such as environmental law or taxation, there are no J.D. programs

concentrating on any single specialty. J.D. degree programs involve three years of study, and are entered following four years of undergraduate study in any major. Competition for admission is intense for both U.S. and international students. Requirements generally

include fluency in English, an excellent undergraduate academic record, and a satisfactory score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). (See http://www.lsac.org for LSAT registration information.)

To practice in the United States, graduates must also pass the bar examination and other requirements of the state where they wish to work.

Graduate Legal Education

The master of comparative law (M.C.L.), also known as the master of comparative jurisprudence (M.C.J.), is a particularly appropriate degree program for international

lawyers. Recognizing that legal systems in many countries differ from common law as practiced in the United States; these programs acquaint lawyers from other

countries with U.S. legal institutions and relevant specialties of U.S. law. Another graduate option is the master of laws (L.L.M.), a degree offered in a variety of

specialties or as a self-designed program, with appropriateness for the international practitioner varying from program to program. Programs in international law or

international business law may also be of interest. Almost all master’s programs in law last one year and admit students only for the fall semester. Programs can be planned according to the interests of the student. During study, international lawyers have the opportunity to observe courts and government agencies in the United States. Entrance requirements include a first degree in law, a strong academic background, and letters of

Reference, a statement of purpose and/or writing samples, and a high level of English proficiency as demonstrated by the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for students whose law degree was not in the English language. Most graduate law programs do not require standardized admissions tests. Doctoral programs in law also exist. They admit only a small number of promising applicants, usually from among those who have completed a master’s program at a U.S. law school and who plan to enter a career as a

law school faculty member. Financial assistance may be more readily available to law students intending to continue towards a doctoral degree than to those seeking only a one-year master’s program.

Short-term Legal Education

Many U.S. law schools offer programs, particularly in the summer, either designed for or appropriate for international lawyers. These usually last between one week and

two months. Professional associations and private training organizations offer similar programs. Your nearest U.S. educational information or advising center may be able to provide information on other options, such as tours to visit U.S. legal institutions.

✏ U.S. first professional degree programs in law (J.D.) are generally not appropriate for individuals planning to practice law outside the United States. However, a variety of other degree and short-term options specifically designed for international students exist at the graduate level.

MASTER OF LAWS IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW AT THE U. ARIZONA

The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law welcomes

international students to enroll in its LL.M. program, designed to

provide candidates with the skills and knowledge required to meet the

challenges of a global marketplace.

See the scholarship request form at: www.law.arizona.edu/Tradelaw

International and U.S. students complete a rigorous core curriculum,

demonstrate research and analysis skills in a required thesis, and may

participate in any number of practical learning opportunities offered

at the James E. Rogers College of Law and through institutional

affiliations, most notably the National Law Center for Inter-American

Free Trade.

LL.M. candidates at The University of Arizona will complete a minimum

of 24 credit hours for the degree. During the summer foreign students

will also complete a two-unit Introduction to American Law, and a

special course devoted to U.S. research and writing techniques. Most

of the curriculum will involve "core" courses in International Trade

and Business Law, International Commercial Law, and instruction in

related areas such as Investment Law, European Union Law, Commercial

(UCC) Law, Corporate Law, Administrative Law, Antitrust Law,

Securities Law, and/or Domestic and International Environmental Law.

Recent research projects include the development of an electronic

commercial registry; comparison of and suggestions for harmonization

of banking law; transportation documentation; environmental

legislation; customs law and procedures; common rules for recognition

of judgments; dispute settlement at the WTO and under NAFTA Chapter

11; industrial incentives legislation in Central America; and

comparative real estate law, but this is by no means an exhaustive

list.

The program's LL.M. classes are extremely diverse. Students hail from

all over the globe, including Spain
