Therefore, for most students who want to study in art, most people hope to get scholarships and reduce their financial burden. But there are so many applicants and so few places, and the competition is fierce. Then, what are the hard conditions for applying for graduate students, and how can we stand out among many applicants?

First, academic performance

American colleges and universities require that applicants' academic performance be converted into GPA (average grade point) when examining their academic performance, and take it as a standard to measure their academic performance. As the percentage system is basically adopted in Chinese universities, the following standards should be adopted when converting to GPA: 90 to 100=4, 80 to 89=3, 70 to 79=2, 60 to 69= 1, and below 60 points =0. Therefore, the teacher of IDP project office suggested that if you want to get a scholarship, your GPA score should be above 3 points.

Second, the level of English.

At present, there are five kinds of English test scores recognized by American universities: TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, LSAT and TSE.

China students take TOEFL and GRE exams most often. TOEFL and GRE scores are important factors in winning scholarships. American experts in IDP project office need to remind scholars who want to go abroad that American schools only take TOEFL and GRE scores as reference and not as decisive factors when awarding scholarships. Therefore, the importance of other materials can not be ignored in the application process.

Three. Experience and honor

When applying for a master's degree or above, past work experience and achievements are particularly important. The results of related majors are even more important, which can directly affect whether the other party will give you research funds or teaching assistants. Therefore, if you have working experience in teaching and research, it will undoubtedly be of great help to you.

Fourth, education.

If you get a bachelor's degree or a master's degree in China, it is much easier to apply for a higher degree in the United States and get a scholarship than to apply for an undergraduate scholarship. At present, domestic readers applying for the United States tend to be younger, which is actually not desirable. First, it is difficult to get scholarships; Second, the students themselves are young and have poor self-care ability. In my opinion, we should at least consider studying abroad after getting a bachelor's degree.

Second, matters needing attention:

There are many kinds of scholarships in the United States, some of which are donated to colleges by foundations, enterprises, companies, factories or private individuals. There are hundreds of thousands of such scholarships, ranging from $500 to100000. Most of them are only provided to American citizens, and few are provided to international students.

Non-American citizens or international students mainly strive for tuition scholarships, which is relatively difficult. There are few scholarships that also provide living expenses, and there are even fewer opportunities. American graduate schools can usually apply for the following scholarships: full scholarships and partial (half-prize) scholarships, and also for students with excellent grades. Some scholarships only reduce part of tuition and living expenses. He (she) has no service obligation, and does not need to pay taxes, grants, subsidies, etc. There are also dormitory assistants, graduate assistants and so on. But this kind of scholarship can only be applied after you are familiar with the campus environment.

Third, how can I get a scholarship in the United States?

Those who study in the United States at their own expense without scholarships, because they are not clear about the allocation and distribution of scholarships in American society, are often exhausted in their study abroad life, and they have to cope with the expenses of language, study and living, which causes three points of energy and has an impact on their studies.

In fact, there are many kinds of scholarships in America. Understand these situations, apply for scholarships, and study abroad without falling into the dilemma of three points of energy, and you can concentrate on your studies wholeheartedly. In the United States, there are state-level scholarships in the state, university-level scholarships in schools, departmental scholarships in departments, and various forms of scholarships established by some social organizations. Usually, the bigger the school, the more scholarships, the more famous the school and the more famous the major, the more scholarships. It is said that Stanford University has the largest number of scholarships in the United States.
