International Student Taxes

Posted on 10th March 2008

Tax season is right upon us, and a little known fact among international students who are in the USA is that you need to complete a tax return and send this to the IRS - even if you did not earn anything or work during the last year.

The deadline to send your return in is April 15th 2008 for those who worked and received a salary last year, and June 15th 2008 for all others. With the International Student Tax Center you can use our online system quickly and easily to get your forms printed and send your return in - find out more now!

Spring Break Travel Insurance

Posted on 10th March 2008

Are you planning to travel over Spring Break in 2008? Like most students the answer to this question is yes, however most students will travel outside the USA without the right health and travel insurance which could lead to large hospital bills. With the Atlas International plan from InternationalStudent.com you can get coverage from as little as $1.10 per day that will provide health and travel insurance benefits, but the best part about this plan are the travel assistance services that is provides such as emergency cash transfers, emergency cash relay, translation assistance and much more. If you also have a group traveling that need coverage, please contact us for our even lower group rates!

International Student Loans in the USA

Updated on 21st April 2008

International students in the US and Canada can apply for an International Student Loan for the current semester, for the summer term or for the full academic year that begins Fall 2008. With the current credit crunch creating uncertainty in student loan markets, the best advice is to apply early for your funding for next year.

As an international student at approved schools in the US or Canada, you can use this loan for tuition, books, room and board and even a computer! Even better, you can defer payment until 6 months after you graduate or drop below half-time enrollment!

For more information and to apply directly online please see International Student Loan

Study Advice Centers

Posted on 13th September 2007

When you plan to study in another country, the best way to start is to gather as much information as possible and do as much research as you can to learn about that country. We have created our "Study Centers", where you can find information, resources and advice for studying in a particular country. Each center will offer information about the country, the culture, the climate, etc.. but will also provide you with detailed information about the education system and how you can prepare yourself to study there.

We currently provide study centers for international students who are planning to Study in the USA, Study in the UK, Study in Australia and our Study Abroad center is for US Students who are looking for a semester (or longer) outside the USA.
