| Costs of Graduate Education | Studying at graduate level in the USA can be expensive. Prices differ extensively from state to state, institution to institution and program to program. The typical fee for the studying at graduate can be between $4,000 (€3,500) and more than $25,000 (€21,000) a year.
Prices are significantly higher for international students than for US students. A lot of colleges and universities have devoted international student offices, which can offer helpful information before students make their decision, and provide themselves with assistance during their program.
Accommodation and living costs should also be taken into account. It is the best way to make contact with individual institutions to get a reliable breakdown of what the costs will be. Clearly the cost of living in bigger cities such as New York and Los Angeles will be higher than in smaller cities. On-campus accommodation is obtainable at many institutions.
Room and Board costs can vary between $3,000 (€2500) and $7,500 (€6,500) a year. International student should contact his or her office at the chosen university for more information about accommodation and other living costs.
Most of financial support opportunities of the US government are limited to US citizens. Some US universities propose international and US-based Private scholarships obtainable for international students. There are also many students looking for advantage of these scholarships. Artistic, professional and sporting excellence can be a source of scholarship opportunities.
