United States of America
Academic year: usually September to June
University entrance: Foreign students seeking admission as undergraduates to institutions of higher education in the United States should have at least completed their secondary education and be eligible for admission to a university in their own country. Foreign students applying directly to a particular American university or college for scholarship assistance should note that a separate application (supported by evidence of the required educational attainment) must first be made for admission to that institution as a student.
Language: A good knowledge of English is essential and students whose native language is not English are usually expected to have passed the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). This test is given at designated centres throughout the world (details obtainable from United States embassies, consulates, United States Information Service offices and USIA affiliated educational advising information centers abroad).
Intensive English language and orientation programmes for foreign students are offered by many institutions of higher education as well as by private language schools in the United States (see below under Publications).
