Welcome to the 158th issue of the International Student News!
This month we are proud to announce the re-launch of two of our most popular websites, IEFA and International Scholarships! Both sites have undergone a major redevelopment in both functionality and content so that you can search and find scholarships and financial aid more easily. These sites for years as a free service to both schools and students involved in international education.
Check out both new sites today and register for your account.

 Funding your education is one of the biggest challenges as you pursue your dream of an education abroad. Sometimes your school will help you out with tuition waivers and discount programs, but apart from that you will have to find the rest of the funds yourself.
As part of our network of international student sites, we have completely reworked our two main scholarships websites - IEFA.org and InternationalScholarships.com. With these updates we have made the interface easier to use, with greater functionality, and we have updated the site so that all of the awards are current. These changes mean an even better experience for you!
Please register for the sites, if you have not done so already and good luck finding the awards and scholarships you need!

If you're looking for a university that prepares you for a successful career by combining academics and real-world experience, then take a closer look at our Featured School, Johnson & Wales University. They offer programs in business, hospitality, culinary arts, technology and education to more than 17,000 graduate and undergraduate students, representing 93 countries worldwide.
Another reason to take a closer look at Johnson & Wales is they have four different campuses located in some of the best and beautiful cities in the USA. Campuses like Providence, Rhode Island, voted many times as one of the best cities to live in the US. Or if you are interested in sun, sand and surf, check out their North Miami, Florida Campus. What about skiing, hiking or just being outdoors? Then look into their Denver, Colorado campus. Are you a sports fan? If so, you should consider their Charlotte, North Carolina campus, home of the NFL team the Carolina Panthers and NASCAR's Charlotte motor speedway.

US Graduate School International Applications Rise Again
Continuing a several-year trend, the number of international students applying to graduate school rose 9% this past year, following an 11% rise the previous year. Applications increased substantially from Mexico, Canada, Brazil and China, while the US saw relatively flat numbers from India, South Korea and Taiwan. Inside Higher Ed reported on the latest study by the Council of Graduate Schools, and this year's report has more data than ever. For instance, the report now tracks applications from more individual regions and countries, giving better insight into the continuing growth of the USA's international education world.

We have friends and family all across the world - whether it's down under in Australia, across the pond in Europe or even here in the USA! If you're like us, trying to work out the time difference and when you should call is a challenge.
There are many websites out there that let you choose your location, then the location of the city you want and will give you the information - but this is time consuming, and it is not that fun. Every Time Zone is a quick, fun to use time zone checker that lists major cities in an easy to use grid, so you can quickly see what time it is. You can even move the time bar to check their specific times - check it out and let us know what you think!

One of the most commonly asked questions we receive is how international students can both work and study at the same time. Traditionally as part of your F1 visa, your working hours are restricted on-campus - which in turns limits your ability to fund any substantial part of your education.
However, through an innovative new program called HTIR, students can both work and study at the same time. In this unique CPT program (also known as a co-op, work-study or internship program) students can work in full time, paid, practical training employment for the whole duration of the master program in order to enhance the educational experience.
For more information about this program and to start your application please visit us online.
