Tax Form 8843 Online Wizard Assistance

As you likely already know, all international students studying in the US and their dependents are required to complete and mail in IRS Tax Form 8843 prior to the April 15th deadline. If you know of any students who need assistance with this form, please feel free to direct them to our Tax Form 8843 Online Wizard.

The Form 8843 Wizard will prompt the student to answer a few tax-related questions then will populate the form for them without saving any of their personal information. The process can be completed in just a few minutes all the students will have to do is mail their form into the IRS.

Welcome Aboard New Partners!

InternationalStudent.com is always excited to start new partnerships with schools that are seeking to optimize international student recruitment. This month, we want to give a warm welcome to two new partners: University of Mount Union and Atlantis University!

We look forward to working with both partners to help them reach their international student recruiting goals!

School the World Update

The 2020 EIC School the World team has returned from Guatemala! The EIC crew joined team members from International Medical Group, International Citizens Group and Flywire to accomplish building the new classroom and playgrounds, which were custom designed and hand-painted with help from all of the children. We are thrilled with the new classroom and playground that was left behind in the beautiful community of Sector Castro!

The entire team was graciously welcomed into the homes of community members of Sector Castro, where they received hands-on experience helping out with daily household chores and an inside look at the culture of the community. They also had the opportunity to teach in the classroom, laugh and play games with the children.

Ashley Zahradnick was part of the 2020 EIC School the World team and couldn’t be more excited for future initiatives.
 

"What an amazing experience it has been participating in this effort to provide children with access to quality education. We are so excited to see the children grow and learn for all the years to come. Our team cannot wait to return to Guatemala again next year. Thank you for your support."
