Do
you want to continuing education to college or university? Perhaps you would
like to find a scholarship for your child. Further study abroad can be taken
with minimal funds if we receive financial support. The source can be various,
either from institutions offering scholarships, universities and companies that
we are headed partner who gives attention to education.
Therefore,
do not be discouraged if you accept the word "rejected" on the specific scholarship selection committee. Try
be accepted in universities courses that you are headed. The opportunity to get
financial support is wide open.
On
this occasion you can get tips or how to acquiring a graduate scholarship (bea siswa) in
the United States. One of the ways so that we might get free study graduate in
America is through financial aid (financial support) of the number of
scholarships, such as Fulbright, ADB Bank, our workplaces, or other scholarship
programs. In Indonesia or other countries, apparently favors a number of
scholarships for specific disciplines so that students from other fields tend to be more difficult
to obtain the scholarship. However, I still suggest trying to follow the
scholarship program selection.
You
can get scholarship from
AMINE. AMINEF is the body in charge of Fulbright scholarships. Generally, scholarship
or financial support of the university can be obtained through three
categories, namely fellowships, graduate research assistant, and graduate
teaching assistant. Fellowship is a highly competitive scholarship and pure competition. Meanwhile, the graduate research assistant
or graduate teaching assistant is a position, where we are obliged to work as a
research assistant or teaching to get pocket money (stipend) from college. The
ins and outs of graduate research assistant has been discussed in a blog post
this. One of the advantages if we got one of the financial support, we can be
freed from the obligation to pay tuition fees,
other school fees, and even the cost of health insurance. Thus, it might be
argued that we could free school in America if given the financial support or scholarship.

You
can also look for scholarship opportunities from other agencies, such as the
Ford Foundation or you are looking for information on the Cultural Center of
the United States and the U.S. embassy.
There
are several outcomes the application status if applying to American colleges.
First, the status is the outcomes the best applications we received and got
financial support. The next status is we received no financial support.
Finally, the worst status is not acceptable in our universities. Status of
application received without any financial support remains a good opportunity
if you have the funds for study and living expenses for at least the first
year. Furthermore, you should strive to excel in the first half in order to
obtain fellowships, research assistant position, or teaching assistant
positions in the next semester.
Maximize your standardized test
Try
to obtain the value of the standardized test (TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, DAT,
LSAT, or PCAT) is good. I'm just going to discuss about TOEFL and GRE course
because I have not had experience in GMAT, MCAT, DAT, LSAT, and PCAT. If we
apply to the engineering department, to increase the chances of obtaining
financial support since the first half, we try to earn at least 600 TOEFL PBT
equivalent to TOEFL IBT 100. If we apply to school business / economics, I
suggest you to earn at least 640, or PBT TOEFL, IBT TOEFL minimum of 110. For
additional information, friend - friends can have a greater opportunity to
obtain financial support through teaching assistant position if it has a value
in the TOEFL IBT speaking at least 25.
Every
majors and universities in the United States have different standard priorities
in evaluating score GRE. Generally, a higher priority engineering GRE
quantitative score while majors literature score may be prioritize GRE verbal
and analytical writing. If we apply to engineering majors, try to earn at least
780 GRE quantitative and verbal GRE at least 600. Reference score TOEFL and GRE
which I mentioned earlier is very high so that we can confidently enroll in
America's top universities if we have these score.
Establish good relationships with
professors
The
professors in American universities play a vital role in research activities
and lectures. Every professor holding fund their research projects
respectively. Generally, they work with a graduate student to do research
there. Professor will act as mentors, while graduate student will perform lab
activities and a variety of other research activities.
In
return for his work, graduate student who served as a research assistant will
receive financial support. Furthermore, the professors are usually also require
teaching assistants to help them in college activities. Scholarships or
financial support will also be given to the graduate student who became a
teaching assistant. Thus, we must establish a relationship with a professor in
times of registration so that we can earn financial support since the beginning
of the term. Remember, if we are ignorant and do not ask for financial support
at the professor is much less likely we are to get financial support.
