FAQs

Can international students study in the USA for free?
While this approach may be inconvenient and perhaps disrupt your academic goals, bear in mind that the United States offers scholarships to international students. Getting a free degree in the United States is very attainable with the help of USA scholarships from colleges, the government, and private institutions.
To study in the USA, Indian students typically need to budget around INR 38 lakhs per year for tuition and living expenses combined. Tuition fees alone can range from INR 15 lakhs to INR 55 lakhs annually, depending on the program and institution, while living expenses are estimated between INR 8.5 lakhs and INR 16.5 lakhs per year.
Popular scholarships for studying in the USA include the Fulbright Foreign Student Program, which offers comprehensive funding for graduate students; the Hubert Humphrey Fellowship Program, aimed at mid-career professionals; and the American University Emerging Global Leader Scholarship, which covers full tuition for international students demonstrating leadership potential.
Yes, international students can work in the USA during and after their studies. While on an F-1 visa, students are allowed to work on-campus for up to 20 hours per week during the academic term and full-time during breaks. After completing their studies, they may be eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT), allowing them to work in their field of study for up to 12 months, with a possible extension for STEM graduates. Off-campus work requires prior authorization and is generally available only after the first year of study.
Obtaining a USA study visa can be straightforward, but it requires careful preparation and adherence to specific requirements. Students must secure admission to a SEVP-approved institution and receive a Form 1-20, which is essential for the visa application process. While the steps involved—such as paying fees, completing the DS-160 form, and attending a visa interview— are manageable, applicants must demonstrate financial stability and intent to return to their home country after studies, which can make the process challenging for some.
