On June 4th, 65438, the State Council, USA, Director GO CAMPUS-My Scholarship Program? N Francisco Mosca visited Beijing to introduce the American University Scholarship Program established by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the State Council, USA to China students and parents.

The American University Scholarship Program was initiated by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the State Council and implemented by ASSE, one of the four non-profit educational foundations in the United States. China students who enter this program will have the opportunity to get a full scholarship from American universities or a high scholarship of 80,000 RMB. At the same time, American education experts will evaluate and position them, recommend nine suitable American universities and majors for China students to choose from according to their backgrounds and interests, and ensure that they can be admitted.

The United States chose to promote the American University Scholarship Program in China after China's college entrance examination in order to attract more college entrance examination candidates this year. Although China University has implemented the enrollment expansion policy, there are still more than 2 million candidates who either give up the college entrance examination or fail to enter the ideal university. As the destination country with the largest number of international students, the United States has abundant higher education resources, which can meet the needs of China students for further study to a great extent. At the same time, some American universities have recognized China's college entrance examination results, allowing Chinese college entrance examination candidates to apply for undergraduate courses according to the college entrance examination results. However, the high cost often becomes an important reason why many outstanding students in China cannot choose to study in the United States.

According to the American Institute of International Education (IIE)20 12? Open the door? According to the data provided by the report, the number of China students studying in the United States is close to 226,000. Among them, 60% of the overseas students' study expenses mostly come from individuals and families, about 15% of them study in public schools, and less than 25% of them rely on scholarships or financial aid from American institutions. ? Open the door? The report calculates that the average annual cost per self-funded student is about $40,000.

Among all countries studying abroad, the cost of studying in the United States is relatively high. However, the number of China students studying in the United States is still increasing year by year, reflecting the changes in the current educational needs of domestic students. Domestic universities used to be the cradle of elites, but now the continuous expansion of university enrollment has diluted their teaching level, resulting in a serious derailment between university education and market demand, and it is difficult for students trained by domestic universities to adapt to the needs of society. In contrast, foreign teaching pays more attention to life planning and practical application. After failing in the college entrance examination, it may be a good choice to choose to study abroad.

Although civilian study abroad has gradually become a trend, studying in the United States has always been an education? High consumption? . In fact, American universities are always eager for excellent students. The purpose of setting up various scholarships is also to attract more outstanding students. For international students studying in undergraduate courses, the types of scholarships are, first, rewards based on students' performance, and second, grants based on students' economic needs. It can be said that the American university scholarship program takes into account the above two needs of China students.

According to the latest plan, the increased number of work visas will be issued to American school graduates? STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)? Professional students. At the same time, the number of immigrants with advanced degrees and master's degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics in American universities will increase. The demand for relevant professionals in the United States will inevitably lead to the increase of American universities? Expanding enrollment? Power.
