Financial empowerment for Colombian students

Fast facts for studying in the U.S.

Here are a few points to consider about studying as a Colombian postgraduate student in the U.S.:

• Colombian students with an F-1 U.S. student visa can work on-campus for up to 20 hours per week during the school year and full time during winter/summer breaks.
• When choosing a university, compare costs to find one that fits your budget. Some factors to consider include – where the school is located and whether it’s a public or private institution.
• If you’re looking into student loans for postgraduate degrees, keep in mind that the average cost of tuition for international graduate students can range from US$20,000 to US$70,000 per year, according to EdVoy.

Scholarships for international students could help cover some of those costs, so make sure to apply.
