International Education Week Encourages Study Abroad, Special Incentives for International Students
	by PRWEB

International student enrollments at US colleges and universities continues to decline, according to a recent report by CNN. While colleges and universities work to bring up enrollments by marketing to international students, other organizations are working equally hard to improve the appeal of studying abroad by helping international students obtain more services at lower costs.

Quincy, MA (PRWEB) November 15, 2024 -- International student enrollments at US colleges and universities continues to decline, according to a recent report by CNN [1. While colleges and universities work to bring up enrollments by marketing to international students, other organizations are working equally hard to improve the appeal of studying abroad by helping international students obtain more services at lower costs. Ross Mason, director of InternationalStudent.com, an online international student resource site, stated, "One of the biggest obstacles to studying abroad is the sheet cost. Most international students don't anticipate the extra expenses of living abroad, from increased insurance costs to high tuition, especially in the United States, where tuition at private colleges and universities outpaces financial aid."

As a part of working to improve international enrollment and student exchange, the US State Department, the US Department of Education, and the UK Department For Education and Skills has designated November 15 - 19 to be International Education Week, encouraging schools and private organizations to promote study abroad. To coincide with these federal agencies, InternationalStudent.com is offering a variety of discounts and contests to international students as incentives to begin or continue study abroad. Incentives at InternationalStudent.com include access to scholarships and loans, free mobile phones and calling cards, special rates at foreign language schools, discounts on international student insurance, and international student tax preparation.

"By helping to reduce costs and make international student travel easier, we hope to see more well-traveled and well-educated students around the world. Few things are more important than a comprehensive education, and for students who want to understand how the world works, there's no better way than to study abroad. We hope international students everywhere are able to take advantage of International Education Week to reach out and study abroad," said Mason.

	Paying for your Child's College Education This is probably the most intensive short-term cash drain on any family's finances. Unlike most other big- ticket items, such as homes or automobiles, that can be paid off in monthly installments, college tuition must be paid out over a relatively short period of time. With tuition at staggeringly high levels throughout the nation, a family's commitment to provide higher education for children can be overwhelming. Ideally, a long-term plan for college education was initiated from the birth date of your college-bound student. There is no better way to ensure a child's education that a systematic savings plan. But this is not an ideal world, many of us must finance part of the college education out of the monthly family budget.  [More >>]
	An Education in Saving on Textbooks Every year students flock to the college bookstore to purchase the various textbooks that they require for their classes. Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. As unbelievable as it may seem textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much, if not more, than tuition. On the surface the college bookstore may seem like a convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually in-stock and students may purchase new textbooks or opt for the cheaper alternative of used books. In truth the money saved by purchasing used textbooks from the college bookstore is only a fraction of the amount that students could be saving if they shopped online.  [More >>]
