This year nearly 700,000 international students will choose the US as their destination for their education and their futures. That's approximately double than the entire annual O/Level student population in Sri Lanka and will even include tens of thousands of British, Australian, and Canadian students. America is not only the No. 1 destination for international students, it is the preferred premier destination for international students from all around the world.

Attend Amazing America on 22 October at the Cinnamon Grand at 2.00 pm. Don't miss this amazing opportunity. First, with nearly 4,000 institutions, America offers the most diverse and exciting range of higher education options anywhere in the world. The Times Higher Education World University Rankings states 15 of the world's top 20 universities are in the US. With such a wide selection of excellent learning opportunities, there is truly something for everyone, no matter what your abilities or ambitions are. That's Amazing America!

Second, American universities are recognized and respected globally for their excellence, diversity, flexibility, range of opportunities, modern facilities, resources to enhance the learning experience, and top quality professors. This translates to Global opportunities after graduation. Your American degree will take you anywhere you want to go. That's Amazing America!

Third, American education is career-focused (job oriented degrees). This means that your American education will prepare you for life and success, not only for exams. Your American qualification will connect you to jobs, careers, and companies all around the world. And, an education philosophy that combines classroom theory with real-life practical experience ensures that you will be ready for those opportunities. Earning a degree from a US university gives you the broad academic and practical experience necessary to compete in the global economy. That's Amazing America!

Fourth, recent currency exchange rates have made America more affordable than ever for a greater number of Sri Lankan students. Combine the improved exchange rate with the savings achieved through a transfer programme with American accredited course work and you have a unique combination of value and high quality. That's Amazing America!
Some of the many activities at the event Amazing America include:
nValuable hands-on Financial Planning workshops for parents and students (including how to prepare for scholarships and reduce education costs)

  • Practical career-oriented presentations
  • Student Success Skills on how to be a successful student at college or university
  • International education options including in-depth presentations on America

In America, it is not necessary to complete your degree programme in the same university you started, as you have the option of changing your university and completing your undergraduate degree programme in any US university or globally. This flexibility gives you the opportunity to improve your qualifications as you study, and transfer your credits to a top ranked university.

The cost of an American education can be high, but the cost of an undergraduate degree can vary significantly between $12,000 and $35,000 per year. Scholarships and awards are available for international students based on merit, academic transcripts, sports, financial need etc.

Therefore, you should focus your search on universities that are actively seeking international students as part of their efforts to attract a diverse range of individuals to their campus. In addition to opportunities with specific college and universities, there are various contests and awards that may also be available to you because they are open to all individuals and are not restricted to US citizens.
Living in the US will be amazing! America is a huge country and offers a vast choice of destinations spread across 50 states. You can spend your time in a big city or smaller town. You can have warm weather year-round or see snow in winter. Whatever your preference, we can offer guidance in choosing the best location in the US.

There is more to life on campus than studying and passing exams. You will develop as an individual, gain insights into your core beliefs, develop interests in sports and arts, and make lifelong contacts and business networks. US universities have active student societies, clubs and sports teams for players of all abilities to help you reach your true potential.

A degree from an American university is respected and recognized throughout the world. You will have valuable work experience opportunities both during and after your degree. This will prepare you for the real world, and give you a head start in your career by gaining a significant advantage in the job market. People with American graduate degrees hold approximately 70% of the most influential and lucrative positions in government, non-profit agencies, and private enterprise worldwide.
