Good information from you, i really appreciate the effort you're doing to make sure we have the right and vital informations about community colleges thank you alot. I wanna ask a question and the question goes thus: Is there an age limit for international students who want to apply for community college probably 30yrs upward can apply and if the person apply i hope the embassy won't question him/her cos of the person age.

[@FromNestToWings]

From the college's perspective, there is no age limit. The average age of college students in the US is 26...with the number of students headed after high school at a young age, the average age tells you that many, many people are in college are above the age of 30. As for your country's age limits, we have no specific knowledge. We suggest you contact them directly to determine any particular restrictions they have on student VISAs.

I'm a high school senior going to graduate in 2021 can I apply now to community colleges and still get accepted. I'm an international student who didn't know about cc because of having no mentor

[@FromNestToWings]

You can begin the applicaiton process now. Start by contacting the admissions office at the school(s) you are interested in to make sure you understand the process and any extra steps you need to check. This will also give you time to make sure you are prepared to handle any steps to completion put in place by your home government. Good luck!

[@olofgustafs]

Do community colleges provide scholarships for international students? Is there any commune college that provides scholarships for international students?

[@FromNestToWings]

It depends on the school and may depend on the focus of your classes. Ask the international student office AND the admissions office that question. They may have college-based funding or may have scholarships provided by private individuals. Feel free to ask, as it is their job to answer! Good luck!

@@FromNestToWings I'm sorry for keep asking but this will be the last which GPA does community usually look at? also what grade do you need in high school to be able to get into a community college?

[@FromNestToWings]

@@vladclad8663 Happy to help! The community college will look at your cumulative GPA. If your grade point average gets better year to year that is great. The GPA needed to get into a community college depends from school to school, but generally, community colleges are looking to see if you could handle the high school curriculum. If you could, they will grant you admissions. If you struggled, they may ask that you take a few preparatory classes before you enroll full time. Ask the admissions officer at the community college you are interested in to review your transcript and let you know if you are competitive. They will be happy to do so. Good luck!

[@jzhuk4897]

What can you say about the GPA I need as a student and exams to enter the college. I need your help. Thank you.

[@FromNestToWings]

Each community college establishes its own admissions criterion, so call the admissions office and ask what standard that school uses. Generally, they don't require standardized tests (ACT or SAT) but that is another question to ask the admissions office. As for your GPA, if yours is strong, keep it that way. If your GPA is not as strong as you would like, then do what you can to bolster your GPA between now and when you graduate. Seeing a rise in a student's GPA is seen as a strong sign that a student is ready for college. Remember that your high school counselor is a great resource as you move forward with your education.

Hi , thanks for the very informative video. We are facing with some unique situation for which we need some answers. My son is a US citizen ( by birth) and he lives with us in India and is studying in India right now. We are considering Community College in US for his undergrad studies after 12. Will we face any challenges if we don't have a US residential address. Will Community College accept US citizen who have studied schools outside US. Will he be eligible for any federal or state scholarships? Any other steps that we need to be aware of considering our situation. Thanks for your help. Looking forward for more such videos.

[@FromNestToWings]

Kheda, your son will be able to attend community college in the US as a US citizen if he meets the requirements for acceptance into the school. The best advice we can give is to have your son contact the admissions office at the community colleges he would like to attend. Their staff is well versed in walking students through the application process. He will list his qualifications based on his experience in Indian schools. There may be requirements beyond submitting an application. For example, they may require he take the TOEFL to ensure his English language skills are strong enough to support his academic work. Your son can file the FAFSA to apply for US Federal Student Aid. Here is a statement that outlines considerations for filling out the FAFSA: www.quora.com/How-do-I-fill-out-a-FAFSA-form-if-Im-a-US-citizen-living-abroad. This will take some work if for no other reason than the time difference and mailing distance. Email helps with some of this, but there may be documents that are best delivered by mail. Start with the community college that will best meet his needs but have another one or two that would work researched should the initial school not be a good match. You can research school offerings and costs on the internet. Your son should feel free to email or call any admissions office to ask more questions. That contact information will be available on the school's website. Best wishes!

I want to study engineering . But I don't have pre science knowledge . Can I study the basics at community college as an international student?

[@FromNestToWings]

That would be a strong move. You can take the requisite science and math courses in a school that costs less than the typical US college or university. We suggest that you pick a community college that has an Articulation Agreement with a 4 year school. That agreement states what classes you can take at the community college that will count towards your college/university degree. The agreement makes moving to that college/university much more straightforward (and, as long as your academic performance is strong at the community college, much easier. Best wishes!

How do we insert scholarships and that thing that's made for community colleges that works like a scholarship sorry can't remember

[@FromNestToWings]

To find scholarship opportunities for community college, we suggest that you: 1) contact the community college financial aid office to find out about the scholarships they administer; 2)check with your high school counselor (even if you graduated a while ago) to see if there are any scholarships they know of that you could apply to; 3) apply for the FAFSA (studentaid.gov) immediately. If you apply today, it will apply for Fall 2021, there are grants, loans, and authorization for work-study jobs available from the federal government. Filing will also help with scholarships that require such. If you are employed, check to see if your employer offers financial support for college. The other idea we can offer is to do an online search for scholarships specific to your experiences and opportunities. Watch our video on scholarships to get more information on how to find more scholarships.

do community colleges accept gcse students, just gcse without IB/Alevel/GED?

Hi, I wish to take more education in a community college but i am 50. Please send your expert advice.

Do NOT let age hold you back. You would be welcome in any college. Talk to the admissions advisors at the CC that interests you most to discuss the process, financing, and the make-up of the student body. You are going to find you are not the only one over 25 years of age getting an education! Good Luck!

[@pujadhungana7305]

Hello mam, I have a question. I recently came to USA and I want to enroll in college. So what should I do first?

[@FromNestToWings]

We suggest you select a few schools you would be interested in attending and then contact their international student support office (can be found on their websites, but they may have different names). They will help you understand what they require. We also suggest that you start working to take the TOEFL - English language test. That will be required by most, if not all, of the schools you choose. Then, make sure you have copies of your education history in written form (transcript), and you know what office in your former schools will send official transcripts if you request such. Then, start the applicaiton process. If financing is an issue, make sure you meet with someone in their financial aid office to determine if there are funding sources available to you. The international student staff is generally very helpful. They understand the challenges presented and want to help you be successful. Good Luck!

If I studied the High School in Mexico, to prove residency I have to live 1 year in my state right? D:

[@FromNestToWings]

Diego, there are a lot of correct answers to this depending on your status, what state you are in, what school(s) you are interested in attending, and many other issues. We suggest that you ask the experts. Call the admissions office and/or the international student office of any school you are interested in attending. Ask them clear, direct questions. One really good question to ask is if, in that state and at that school, you are able to take ANY classes during the time used to establish residency. Some allow for a few hours/courses and some restrict to work alone. Find out the information that is specific to your situation.

Check with the colleges you are interested in. Most will require English language proficiency to allow you to comfortably learn through their classes. The international student or admissions representatives will help you work through what you need to enroll in the college. If you are interested in more than one school, their response to your questions may help you decide with college is better for you.

Can i transfer from cc out of state?

[@FromNestToWings]

You need to check with both schools to see what credits will transfer and which won't. All types of colleges get to determine which credits they will accept. If you are planning for the future, talking to the school to which you would like to transfer early in the process can help you avoid course credits that won't transfer. Generally, there is nothing to stop you from moving to a new state or a new school, as long as you are admitted to the new school.

What is a community college

[@FromNestToWings]

A community college is a higher education option that services students wishing to earn an Associates Degree, specific topical certificates, and in some cases trade or vocational training. The name comes from the fact that these colleges serve students in their community/town/county. Students can take classes while in high school, working, or trying to gain a strong academic record to become more attractive to four year colleges and universities. More and more, community colleges are becoming a way for international students to gain an academic record in the US.

@@baburayipudi9780 Community Colleges are a great place to start and they cost less than four-year colleges and universities. One can earn scholarships and grant for CC's to help pay their costs. Once you select a CC to attend, ask their admissions office about scholarship opportunities and ask if they have an Articulation Agreement with any four year schools. These agreements spell out exactly what a student needs to do in CC to gain admission to that college or university.

There’s some people like myself who would like to apply for community college education regardless of what state in the USA 🇺🇸. I recently attended a graduation ceremony for a friend who graduated from Southern CT state university in New Haven CT. And after attending his graduation ceremony, it gave me an opportunity and idea of attending community college myself. I tried doing it before but it didn’t turn out well as I hoped for. However, I’m not going to easily give up. I’ll give it another try.
