Secure Funds
Summer intensive programs range in price depending on the length of the program and whether they provide living accommodations. International students should be prepared to spend anywhere from $2,000-$10,000. Inquire with the programs you are interested in to understand the format in which they’ll accept tuition, such as online money transfer, check or credit card. It’s important to have these funds available before you apply to your programs of choice, because once you are accepted you can place a deposit and secure your place in the program.
Prepare Documents
Some summer intensive programs may require your academic records such as your high school transcripts or TOEFL scores but in general, most do not require these documents. One document you will need is a passport in order to travel to the USA. If you don’t have a passport and are interested in studying abroad, submit an application for a passport in your home country as soon as possible.
Apply!
Once you have decided which programs you’d like to apply to, have ensured you have sufficient funds to pay your tuition and living expenses, and have the appropriate documents for your application, then you are ready to apply! Also, don’t forget to make copies of important documents.
