THE UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT UNION OFFERS SCHOLARSHIPS TO INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

The International Award is given automatically to non-native English speaking applicants who qualify based on a review of a student's English language proficiency level at the time of acceptance. To qualify for the International Award, applicants must be admitted as an F-1 degree seeking student and hold a valid I-20 form which will be issued by Mount Union and must not have completed their entire secondary school education in an English curriculum.
The award amounts are the following:

* 61 iBT (PB TOEFL scores at 500 and above) or an IELTS score of 5.0 and above - $10,000 award
In addition, we also offer need based financial aid and if an international student qualifies as according to the College Board's International Student Financial Aid Application it could mean an additional $6,000 for a total max of $16,000.  Our total cost for 2010-2022 for tuition, fees, room and meals is $32,584 so on average we can help with about 50% of the total cost.

アメリカの高等教育の様々な側面について、それぞれの大学代表者が英語でプレゼンを行い、その後各大学について説明がありました。各大学の説明は、動画・音声付で臨場感に溢れ、「これぞカリフォルニア」という感じ。リゾート


参加者も英語のプレゼンをうなずきながら聞いてくださっていて、意識の高さと真剣味を感じました。(突然通訳を命じられてちょっと焦りましたがふらふら


大きいフェアでは参加人数も多いので、なかなかゆっくり話すのは難しいでしょうが、少人数だったので皆さんじっくり各大学と話をされていました。日本人卒業生も同伴されていたので、話しやすかったのでは?

大学代表者のプレゼンは、英語でしたがユーモアや笑いを散りばめた堂々としたもので、皆プレゼン上手いな〜と勉強になりました。
ご参加くださった皆さん、ありがとうございました。(EIS)
