Search for Jobs Near You
Many students will want to work while studying to help pay for
their needs and build their resume, but how do you find and land
the job that works for you? It’s normal to need a little help
landing an internship or job that will help you gain experience
and earn money as you get through your college career. For tips
on searching, resume writing, interview preparation, and a guide
on what you need to know about working in the US, visit our
Student Job Search center.

Find My Funds
Once the semester has begun and the tuition and housing has been
paid by grants and scholarships, students often find themselves
still in need of filling a financial gap. Loans are now easier
to access for international students, especially for those who
do not have a cosigner. Students, like you, can use our unique
loan widget to find lenders whose services are tailored to fit
your needs.

Consider Studying in Canada
We are thrilled to introduce our Study in Canada school search
and information center. In this new school search, students can
explore which schools they might find interest in, and get
background on what it would be like to live and study in Canada.
From school search help to financial aid resources, to what
accommodations would be like, we’ve left no stone unturned.
Explore our new Study in Canada section and school search to see
if it’s a good option for you.

Insurance Plans Starting at $29/Month
Having health insurance as an international student is
important- even if your school doesn’t require you to purchase
coverage. Medical costs inside the US are expensive and health
insurance allows you to seek treatment when an illness or injury
strikes, without breaking the bank. If you need health insurance
for the new semester International Student Insurance (ISI) has
plans designed specifically for those studying outside of their
home country. With rates as low as $29/month you can find
coverage that’s reliable and affordable.
