In recent years, studying abroad has gradually become more accessible to the people, according to the data of the "Survey Report on the Intention of Chinese Students to Study Abroad", among the people who intend to study abroad, the annual household income of 11-20w accounts for the most, about 2345%, and the annual income of 21-30w international students accounts for 1643%, the intention of families with an annual income of less than 10w to send their children to study abroad is also higher than that of families with an annual income of 51w+.
It is not difficult to see that driven by the improvement of national living standards, the change of educational concepts and the market pressure of domestic postgraduate entrance examinations and employment, more and more ordinary families are very willing to send their children abroad for further study, and ordinary families have gradually become the main force of the study abroad group.
Despite this, the cost of studying abroad is still a lot of money, so how can it be more cost-effective for ordinary families to send their children abroad? Today, I have taken stock of n money-saving strategies for you
Study abroad money-saving options
1. Region selection:
If you want to reduce the cost of studying abroad as a whole, you must give priority to the two major sources of tuition and living expenses, and the consumption will vary greatly in different countries and regions.
For ordinary families, the tuition fee of 25 30w a year for popular majors in the United States and the United Kingdom is difficult to afford, so it is better to lock the study abroad destination in the second and third echelon countries and regions with higher cost performance
2. Apply for scholarship subsidies
In order to alleviate the cost pressure of international students, universities and universities around the world have set up scholarships. AbsolutelyDifferent countries have different scholarship systems, but they are basically divided into ** scholarships and college scholarships.
For example, Malaysia's ** funding awards include the Malaysian Technical Cooperation Program and the Malaysia International Scholarship, and Singapore** also has some free scholarships for Chinese students.
3. Work-study while studying abroad
Work-study programs are common all over the worldMany college students will work part-time in their spare time to earn tuition, living expenses, and better social experience
For example, in Finland's new policy, the legal part-time work time for international students is 30 hours per week, excluding internship time. Based on the average hourly wage in Finland of 15 euros, the monthly part-time income is about 1,800 euros, which can actually cover part of the cost of studying abroad.
There are still quite a lot of opportunities for Chinese students to work part-time, such as going to fast food restaurants, large supermarkets and other enterprises to do odd jobs when the policy allows, such as KFC, McDonald's and other large chain enterprises; Work as a tutor, such as a Chinese teacher for Chinese children or tutoring local children; Overseas operations, consulting, etc. for domestic institutions; Some schools will also provide some on-campus positions, such as teaching assistants, librarians, etc., which will be subsidized accordingly.
However, different countries have different restrictions on studying abroad and part-time jobs, there will be restrictions on working hours, job types, and even international students are not allowed to work part-time
