Summer intensive English programs are short term programs, ranging from 3-14 weeks that allow international students to learn English during the months of June, July, and August. Programs are offered at a range of educational institutions such as colleges, universities and private institutions across the USA. Summer intensive programs are a great way for students to accelerate their English language skills. If you’re interested in applying to a summer intensive program, here are the steps you need to take to apply.

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.

Testimonials
I was with doubts and some difficulties in the conclusion of the process of admission, then I sent an email to Study in USA.com and after one day then they answered me, and from that time mister Wesley Costa comes helping me, in the process of documents, visa and other things. I thank very much the help, from StudyUSA.com. You are the best!
I’ve always wanted to live in another country, but I always thought that was not possible for me. When I start following Study in USA, I saw that it’s not that hard. All the emails that most people think it’s not important, it was very important to me because it showed me my options and how to do it, now I planned everything and I’m very happy with that.
The Study in the USA website always provides me with information about universities.
