how to apply for studies abroad<\/strong><\/h1>\n

PAID VS. FREE SERVICE
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

HERE IS TO HELP YOU DECIDE<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When it comes to applying for studies abroad, there have always been two approaches for
\ngoing about it. On the one hand, hundreds of agencies flood the internet and urban
\nadvertisement spaces offering to assist study abroad students with their applications; these
\nagencies specialize in the application process and work with thousands of students every year.
\nOn the other hand, note that you can opt to do the whole procedure yourself. Shortly on this
\nwebsite we will be launching a video series aimed at guiding students through the process
\nindependently by showing them several key strategies.
\nIn the meantime, note that you can also find the necessary information online, starting on this
\nwebsite. When you want to study abroad, thoroughly informing yourself about the following
\nsteps is key.
\n1. Select your target country.
\n2. Explore their education system.
\n3. Choose your field of study.
\n4. Find at least 10 universities offering the given program.
\n5. Read your prospective department&#39;s website, scanning for specifics about your study
\nprogram.
\n6. Also visit the admission office&#39;s website, looking for requirements to get a seat in your
\ntarget program.
\n7. Select the 2-3 universities that you will be applying to.
\n8. Locate the online application form in each case and fill it out.
\n9. Upload the required documents where indicated, and pay the application fee (if any).
\n10. Wait for the decision from the admission committee.
\n11. Once you have secured admission, move to the embassy website of your chosen
\ncountry within your border.
\n12. On the embassy homepage locate information about the application for a visa – on that
\npage, you will see all the necessary steps to apply for a student visa. The most important
\ninformation here is the required documents.
\n13. Follow indicated steps to fill out a visa application and prepare for the interview if one is
\nrequired in your particular case.
\n14. If you are granted a visa, follow recommended steps to prepare for your travel and
\nstudies journey.<\/p>\n

Filing out your study abroad applications – how much does it cost?<\/h1>\n

As a prospective study abroad student, you need to know that whether you go for the do-it-
\nyourself or the PAID option to prepare your study abroad applications, diverse costs are
\nassociated with the process before you ever get to the steps of paying for your flight ticket and
\ncovering your tuition plus living costs expenses after your arrival at your final destination. These
\ncosts include:
\n\u25cf Money to translate all your documents if necessary<\/p>\n

\u25cf Money to pass required admission tests like TOEFL, GRE\/GMAT, etc. (where
\napplicable)
\n\u25cf Money to certify your documents if necessary
\n\u25cf Money for mailing your application if you opted for the offline\/paper version
\n\u25cf Application fees for universities
\n\u25cf Visa application fees<\/p>\n

When it comes to applying for studies abroad, you can choose between the do-it-yourself
\napproach and the PAID approach. A lot of parents and students go for the paid version: even
\nthough there is no guarantee that the experts will get you a visa, using the services of experts
\nincreases your chances not only of getting admitted to a university but also of landing a visa.
\nFurthermore, getting the assistance of an expert facilitates your integration abroad because they
\noffer copious supportive advice and the availability of their strong network in the target country.
\nThe downside of hiring the service of these experts is that in addition to what you would have
\nspent had you opted for the do-it-yourself approach, you will be paying for what&#39;s referred to as
\na commission fee, which is you paying for the time that they will spend processing your
\napplication. The cost of the commission fee varies from agency to agency, and you can shop
\naround before making your decision. These fees can vary from $650 to up to $2500. It depends
\non the agency and your chosen study destination, as the procedure in some countries is more
\nstraightforward than in others.
\nAgencies work differently and while many have diverse strategies for overcharging the client,
\nothers are fairly straightforward in their way of handling your application and will not charge you
\nmore than they ought to. In all cases, our advice is to go with the agency that is the most
\ntransparent. The contemporary global economy is plagued with people who make a living off
\nscamming others. But getting scammed out of a couple of francs or dollars is one thing and
\ngetting scammed out of millions is another: be careful, therefore, when entrusting your millions
\nto anyone, be it in person or online. For example, there is no reason why an agency should be
\nthe one paying tuition fees in your place; you can always do that yourself on the website of the
\nuniversity.<\/p>\n

Our nonprofit offers these services,<\/h1>\n

Several advantages set us apart. These include:<\/p>\n

1. The reason why we are in this business. We are a nonprofit focused on the fight
\nagainst poverty. When it comes to fighting poverty, one of Africa\u2019s biggest assets is her
\nyoung people who are capable of affording a high-quality education abroad. Sadly, the
\nbulk of these students do not fully comprehend the tremendous impact that they can<\/p>\n

have in the development of their respective nations, which, in turn, can open doors to the
\nleadership career that many dream of. Helping African students find their impactful
\ncalling and fulfilling career is why we are in this business. As a result, unlike your basic
\nstudy abroad agency, we take a holistic approach to helping the student as we start by
\nmaking sure that the field of study the student is going for is one that maximizes his or
\nher chances for landing a bright career in the future.
\n2. Our commission fee is lower than the current market value (a flat rate of $500).
\n3. We do not collect any money from the student other than that commission fee. So all
\nyour millions stay in your pocket, and we limit ourselves to telling you what is needed
\nand when. For instance, when applying to the university, you will directly pay for the
\napplication fee or any required down payment on the university website. The same goes
\nfor the embassy. That way, no extra fee is charged.
\nWhat are the costs you can expect when you hire an expert?
\nAs previously mentioned, diverse costs are associated with the application process before you
\never get to the steps of paying for your flight ticket and covering your tuition plus living costs
\nexpenses after your arrival at your final destination. These costs include:
\n\u25cf Money to translate all your documents if necessary
\n\u25cf Money for the various admission tests, if required
\n\u25cf Money to certify your documents if necessary
\n\u25cf Money for mailing your application if you opted for the offline\/paper application version
\n\u25cf University application fees
\n\u25cf Visa application fees
\nThe only difference between the do-it-yourself and the PAID\/hiring-an-expert option is the
\ncommission fee that you pay for the work that the expert performs.<\/p>\n

What’s the take-home message?<\/h1>\n

Whether you go for the do-it-yourself or the hiring-an-expert option to process your application,
\nprepare yourself for some serious spending during the initial phases. That&#39;s why many go for
\nthe PAID option\u2014to limit the number of mistakes.<\/p>\n
