Sonya McGuinness, Programme Manager
Welcome to the first of our EducationUSA quarterly newsletters which will provide information about studying in the US at graduate and postgraduate level.

The Fulbright Commission assumed the remit of EducationUSA in 2010 and has been getting fully acquainted with the many different processes and vast amounts of information related to studying in the US. With a staff of two working as part of the EducationUSA service in Ireland, we provide unbiased general information and guidance to students, parents and councillors.

We hope these newsletters will prove helpful and informative as you endeavour to advise others or apply to US institutions individually. We will focus on a broad range of topics from applications and choosing the right institution to admissions tests and selected disciplines of study.

Funding is a challenge for both international and US students alike. It is important to realise that scholarships are competitive and that students may need to 'collect' funding from a variety of sources. US students start their funding search as early as possible to ensure they meet deadlines on all applications for funding opportunitites which they are eligible for.

Do not let the tuition rate put you off applying to study in the US. With funding being the norm rather than the exception in many fields you may find you are able to fund or part fund your studies through financial aid or scholarships.
