Scholarships for High-Scoring Malyasian Students

For my Follow-on Service Project, I aim to promote the notion that studying abroad is an experience that everyone can have. I will emphasized that this opportunity is not limited to the elite few who have the money to pay for the experience out of their own pocket. I will accomplish this by highlighting the various funding opportunities available to students, especially those opportunities geared specifically toward lower-income students. I will encourage students to look at every possible avenue such as local scholarships available back home, university scholarships, organizational scholarships, departmental scholarships, state-level scholarships, and national scholarships.

In this current modern era of our time, it can be seen that an enormous number of students prefer to study overseas in Australian universities. For the purpose of this essay, “overseas study” refers to the act of travelling beyond your country to receive tertiary education. There are numerous reasons as to why universities in Australia are popular. Students may choose Australia universities for the high quality education system, which leads to better job opportunities. Moreover, the student friendly living conditions within a diverse multi-cultural environment.

Apart from educational excellence, there are number of other factors, which contribute in this country’s popularity among international students mainly Asian students.

The United States leads the world in the number of international students who have chosen to study away from their home nation (Witherell & Clayton, 2014). However, other nations such as the United Kingdom and Australia are gaining on the United States and have higher retention rates (Burkholder & Holland, 2014). Moreover, these nations have clearly defined national policies to improve the recruitment and retention of international students, which the United States lacks (Andrade, 2006). International students provide an abundant source of benefits, which include financial stability, cultural awareness, and improved skills among domestic students (Luo & Jamieson-Drake, 2013; Owens, Srivastava, & Feerasta, 2011). However, adjusting

The United States accommodates the largest pool of international students globally, with over one million students choosing to extend their education and life experience in the US. The number has grown since the 1950s and continues to grow due to the quality of teaching offered and the multi-cultured environment that allows for wholesome growth and unforgettable life experience. Additionally, the prospect of getting into the US labor market has made international students prefer the US as a study destination. The number of universities and colleges offering a broad range of courses has also grown thereby encouraging more

During the last few decades, the United States has leading other develop countries in attracting the highest number of international students interested in pursuing post-secondary degree. According to the Open Doors report, “The number of international students at colleges and universities in the United States increased by 7.0 percent to a record high of 623,805 in the past academic year, and by 165 percent in the last three decades” (Institute for International Education, 2008). The influx of international students in the US, seems to have a positive influence to America economy and diversity enriches the social life as well. America a capitalize country still allow its doors open, hence confirming the above claim. International students have taken advantage of the American open doors to study in US despite the many challenges lying ahead of them. Unfortunately these students travel to the US not know the psychological stress awaiting them. Psychological stress may come as a result of both academic and social experiences. Isolation, culture shock, and alienation may sometimes be stressful and can engender homesickness. On the other hand, increasing number of international students in the US is also a

In the Global Pathways article, “Why choose to study in the USA,” addresses that many American colleges and universities are ranked the best in the world and proclaimed “the USA has one of world’s best university systems.” The statistics showed sixteen universities were ranked in the world’s top twenty universities, and fifty-two of America’s universities were ranked in the top one hundred universities in the world. The credibility towards America’s university system goes to the flexible undergraduate curriculum that provides a large variety of classes for undergraduates to take. Classes narrow down each year until individuals only take courses directly linked to the major they desire (“Why”). The article “Choosing the USA,” from International Student, stresses the opportunities given to students deriving from the “cutting-edge technology.” Although they become better skilled and familiar with the technology, they also have the option of contacting researchers and teachers. This provides individuals with an outlet or resources benefitting them throughout their education and career. America is a practical place to study because of the opportunities the higher quality education

Australia, the U.S. and the U.K. have, in recent years, emerged as key players in the international student market. Australia has developed a strongly entrepreneurial approach to attracting the lucrative overseas student market, a key factor in is the potentially enormous profitability that ensues from Australia’s ability to attract “tens of thousands of students from several different countries” establishing a “diversified market with strong growth potential” (Verbik & Lasanowski, 2007, p.5). One reason for Australia’s success in the international student market is that it has a high numbers of students from India and China and these two countries are generally regarded as “the world’s two most prominent source countries” (Ibid). Australia has had success in supplying the enormous demand for higher education for international students from these countries and the numbers of Chinese and Indian students seeking higher education provision in Australia is expected to grow in the foreseeable future. There are several reasons why Australia has so much success in increasing international student numbers. These include effective marketing; English language; proximity to Asian countries; relatively affordable living and study costs and importantly, a quality education in terms of coursework and support for the needs of international students (Terrell, cited in Bartel & Petersen, 1999, pp. 73-75).

The United States has the world’s largest international students’ population, over one million students, including me choose a broaden education and we are interested in new experiences and life, through living in the United State. I have dreams, want to broaden their outlook, want to get opportunities in a well-organized and varied education or a better job, or want to learn English. United States are one of the diverse countries they accept people from many countries. All people have different backgrounds, languages, a religion, race, or a nationality: therefore, I am surprised at everything I see or experience, sometimes I struggle with some problems: an increase crimes, a difficulty to study in college or university, and financial

Something sees this study abroad is due to my willingness to realize my future goals. The cause is that my goal is to contribute to the reality of a multicultural symbiosis society as a social worker, and to think that Thai learning is important.

According to Global Student Mobility, the global demand for international higher education is growing rapidly, and it is forecast to rise from 1.8 million international students in 2000 to 7.2 million international students in 2025 globally. The U.S. higher educational system remains the most respected and recognized, attracting the largest number of international students. The leading contributors to the U.S. total are China, India, South Korea and the most recent one Saudi Arabia sponsored by their scholarship program. Larger institutions tend to attract the most international students, however, small institutions are not far behind.

The purpose of this Literature review is to signal to the reader how study abroad is beneficial to all college students ' development. The journals make it a point to say that the study abroad programs offered in universities are expanding and participation by students is increasing. Also stated, is professors that wish that their students who are excluded by their major from studying abroad to have a program that allows them to go abroad. This field of study is interesting because it positively affects the student 's life afterward mainly with job opportunities. Helping students realize that study abroad is much more of an academic experience can help make the world a better place and can create more global citizens.

Table 3 shows that no significant difference was observed between the overall scores of adjustment in domestic and international Asian students. This finding is different from previous studies that showed East Asian students to have difficulty understanding the academic content resulting in poor adjustment success (Lee, Farruggia, & Brown, 2013). To test our main hypothesis, JASP was used to generate data through descriptive statistics, ANOVA and further post hoc analyses. Initially, we generated descriptive statistics to show the raw means. Table 4 displays this descriptive data indicating that international students performed better than domestic students on university adjustment (M = 34.60, SD = 2.60) and social interaction (M = 15.20,
