In 2012, tuition fees at American colleges and universities have risen across the board, affecting not only American students but also international students. As a result, Chinese students studying in the US will see a significant increase in their expenses this year. In order to attract financially capable good students, including Tulane University and Saint Louis University, 25 American universities have joined together to offer scholarships, mainly targeting students from Shanghai and Jiangsu [http://www.yzteb.com/]. These 25 American universities will collectively offer 311 scholarship slots, among which 189 are half-scholarships or 70% scholarships. Unlike previous years, these scholarships will extend to high school sophomores.
In 2012, there has been a significant increase in tuition fees at American universities. The tuition fee increase at the University of Oregon exceeds 60%, the University of Oklahoma's increase reaches 30.79%, Howard University's increase reaches 10%... According to a comparison table of tuition fees for American universities in 2012 and 2011 collected by CITIC Overseas Study Service Center [http://www.yzteb.com/], more than 90% of universities ranked in the top 100 in the US have seen an increase in tuition fees for domestic students in 2012.
Zhang Hengrui, President of Studying in America, stated that this round of tuition hikes at American universities affects American domestic students more because the tuition pricing for domestic and international students is different. International student tuition is usually 2-3 times that of domestic students [http://www.yzteb.com].
Affected by this wave of price increases and the rising number of applicants, the tuition fee increase for international students at American universities in 2012 is higher than in previous years, reaching 6%-7%. With the increasing number of international student applicants, future increases may reach 10%.
25 American Universities Offering Scholarships
On one hand, there is a significant rise in tuition fees at American universities; on the other hand, some American universities are quietly coming to China to recruit students. It was learned yesterday from the Shanghai Application Center for the [American University Scholarship Selection Program] that in 2012, 25 American universities will offer 311 scholarship slots specifically for students from Shanghai and Jiangsu, among which 189 are 50%-70% scholarships.
Currently, the annual cost of studying in the US (including tuition and living expenses) ranges from $30,000 to over $50,000. Generally speaking, the cost of attending universities ranked in the top 20 is expensive, with many exceeding $50,000 per year. A more common expense is around $30,000-$40,000 per year. A large portion of American university scholarships are allocated to domestic students, with only a small portion available to international students, and competition is extremely fierce. However, a considerable number of Chinese international students still manage to secure full scholarships, as Chinese students' abilities have left a good impression on American universities.
The 25 American universities participating in this [American University Scholarship Selection Program] include 7-8 universities ranked in the top 100 nationwide, another 7-8 ranked in the top 200, and some excellent liberal arts colleges. These schools belong to the mid-to-upper level in the US but are not well-known to Chinese students and parents. They are offering scholarships to increase their visibility. "This time, we encourage high school sophomores to apply," said Yuan Zhengxiang, head of the project. Due to the fierce competition for studying in the US, as well as the common pressure of college entrance exams and preparation time for standardized tests like TOEFL and SAT among Chinese students, starting to prepare for the American college entrance exam one year in advance can achieve genuine seamless对æ¥connection.
