Priprema za SAT počinje 15. marta 2011. i traje osam sedmica. Predavanja se organizuju utorkom i četvrtkom i traju po dva sata. Da bi se iza?lo u susret svima koji menjaju smene u ?kolama, predavanja se organizuju od 10:00 do 12:00 i od 16:00 do 18:00. Ve?banja se organizuju uglavnom vikendom i uključena su u cenu priprema. Zainteresovani kandidati nam se mogu javiti za vi?e informacija. Kod kandidata za koje se utvrdi da mogu da prate nastavu na engleskom jeziku, dalja procedura predstavlja uplatu prvog meseca priprema, dono?enje fotografije za člansku kartu i popunjavanje formulara. Ukupna cena priprema iznosi 35,000 dinara i mo?e se platiti u dve rate, od kojih je prva na početku priprema. Registracija za zvanični test ne ulazi u cenu priprema! Same pripreme nisu obavezne za polaganje. Kontaktirajte nas na pripreme@iacbg.org ako ste zainteresovani.

U budućnosti ćemo dosta pričati o bolonjskoj reformi i odnosu institucija u SAD prema diplomama po tom programu. Za vas koji ste u nedoumici, uvek je mnogo bolje pitati i kontaktirati institucije u Americi nego samo preći okean i nervirati se. Ako se i pojavi prilika da se preselite u SAD, probajte pre odlaska da zavr?ite ?to je vi?e moguće zadataka u vezi sa obrazovanjem - tamo stvari mogu da se zakomplikuju ili da postanu prilično skupe.

S obzirom da su deca na akademskom programu, u propisima se navodi da nakon isteka programa navedenog na formularu I-20 oni mogu da iskoriste 60 dana kako bi se snasli za dalje skolovanje ili povratak kuci. Za studente postoji i practical training koji traje i duze, ali to se ne odnosi na srednjoskolce. Za dete koje vec ima ponudjen angazman kod trenera, resenje bi bilo relativno jednostavno - ako se slazete sa finansijskim paketom i izborom studija, izdace se novi I-20 na osnovu kojeg ce dete biti ponovo student na validnom programu u SAD. Prvi i najbolji korak je da se najvaznije informacije provere direktno na izvoru, u skoli. Postoje savetnici za strane studente koji mogu mnogo lakse od nas da pronadju najnovije propise koji se odnose na srednjoskolce koji nisu drzavljani SAD i da vam ih predoce. Ima i razlika izmedju drzavnih i privatnih srednjih skola i verovatno bi bilo najbolje da se prvo krene od srednje skole. Trazite informacije od zvanicnih izvora i nemojte da slusate tudja iskustva - cesto se desava da ljudi samo prenose ono sto su culi i sto odavno nije u zakonima. Ukoliko u komunikaciji izmedju vas i skole dodje do problema, javite se da vidimo kako mozemo da vam tu asistiramo.

Pre svega, prezentacija o studijama u SAD biće odr?ana u novosadskom Američkom kutku 24. februara - prijavite se i pripremite pitanja. ?kolovanje treba planirati ranije i 18 meseci je neki optimalni rok za dobar izbor. Postoji dosta faktora za izbor odgovarajuće institucije - vi?e detalja pogledajte na ovoj stranici - https://www.educationusa.info/pages/students/research-undergrad.php. Stipendija se dodeljuje na osnovu vi?e faktora i ne znači da će biti samo 50 odsto. Mo?e biti vi?e, mo?e biti i manje, ne postoji neko pravilo za sve. Institucije odlučuju koliko će novca dodeliti kandidatu za studije. Vi?e informacija pročitajte ovde - https://www.educationusa.info/pages/students/finance.php. Kada proučite kako sistem obrazovanja u SAD funkcioni?e, odgovarajući koled? ili univerzitet mo?ete pronaći sami, uz na?u minimalnu asistenciju. Bitno je da va?a pretraga bude detaljna i da obuhvati institucije koje daju finansijsku pomoć stranim studentima koje istovremeno odgovaraju va?em obrazovnom profilu. Pomoć je pouzdana u smislu da će vam biti ponuđene najbolje informacije, pravovremene i nepristrasne, ali je krajnja odluka o studijama na vama. Svratite do Kutka 24. februara i postavite pitanja o svemu ?to vas interesuje. Pogledajte pre toga linkove koji se nalaze u ovom odgovoru kako bi vam bio jasniji sistem obrazovanja u SAD.

Strukovne studije su ipak strukovne studije - i u SAD će vam tra?iti da zavr?ite akademske da bi vam bio omogućen nastavak ?kolovanja. Odradite razliku i biće vam otvorena mogućnost nastavka studija. Za postdiplomske studije se lak?e dobijaju sredstva nego za osnovne studije - to je istina. Pauza nije problem, jedino ?to vas koči je taj nivo akademskih studija koji bi trebalo da dostignete. Definitivno se prijavite za neko od na?ih grupnih savetovanja za postdiplomske studije i pripremite pitanja.

Scholarships and Fellowships Oberlin Conservatory of Music Offers International Student Financial Aid Oberlin is privileged to be one of the few American colleges and universities able to offer substantial financial assistance to international students. As an institution committed to ethnic, experiential, and economic diversity, Oberlin provides grants, scholarships, loans, and on-campus employment to enable international students to meet all demonstrated financial need. More than 80 percent of our international students receive institutional financial aid, with the average aid package covering about three-quarters of the cost of attendance. However, the international financial aid budget is not unlimited. Consequently, the international admission process is extremely competitive--particularly for students with high financial need. Fewer than 15 percent of international applicants are admitted in a typical year. All international applicants wishing to be considered for financial aid must so indicate on their application. Please keep in mind that admission and financial aid decisions cannot be reached until all necessary documentation has been received by the Office of Admissions. For more information, visit: http://bit.ly/dLsI4d International Merit Scholarships up to $5,000 Grand Valley State University Every year, Grand Valley awards a limited number of International Merit Scholarships to incoming international students who have demonstrated an outstanding academic achievement record. The value of this scholarship is $5,000 per year. All students who submit a complete application for admission by May 1 are eligible for this merit-based scholarship. In addition, students must write an essay of approximately 1,000 words on the following topic: "What will I do to bring cultural and international perspectives to Grand Valley that will enhance the learning environment for the entire GVSU community?" Typically, qualified students have a minimum 3.0 grade point average, but decisions are based on academic credentials, the scholarship essay and information provided in the application materials. Transfer students from U.S. four-year colleges and universities, and students being fully funded by their government are not eligible. For more information, visit: http://bit.ly/hzA45A The Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship Offers up to $10,000 Dr. Anita Borg devoted her adult life to revolutionizing the way we think about technology and dismantling barriers that keep women and minorities from entering computing and technology fields. Her combination of technical expertise a nd fearless vision continues to inspire and motivate countless women to become active participants and leaders in creating technology. In her honor, Google is proud to honor Anita's memory and support women in technology with the Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship. Google hopes to encourage women to excel in computing and technology and become active role models and leaders in the field. Google Anita Borg Scholarship recipients will each receive a financial award for the academic year. A group of female undergraduate and graduate students will be chosen from the applicant pool, and scholarships will be awarded based on the strength of each candidate's academic background and demonstrated leadership. In addition, all scholarship recipients and finalists will be invited to attend a retreat at Google. We know how important a supportive peer network can be for a student's success. The retreat will include workshops, speakers, panelists, breakout sessions and social activities scheduled over a couple of days. For more information, visit: http://bit.ly/icceeU II.
