The Yazad Foundation utilizes expertise and extensive
contacts of the Indus Foundation in the USA
with American universities for obtaining admission
for the varied mix of students from the Indian
sub-continent. We give accurate and up-to-date
information about American universities to the
students and help them interpret that information.
Our experienced staff streamline the
application process for students. We advise the
students about the admission criteria such as the
required GPA(Grade Point Average),
and the tests to be taken, such as, TOEFL, SAT, ACT,
GRE, GMAT, etc. We advise parents and students
about life on campus and provide them
with detailed information, which is first-hand
and current. The Indus Foundation represents
American universities in student admission activities.
The Foundation coordinates visits to India
by faculty/staff of American universities for seminars
and presentations. The Foundation
organizes information seminars on behalf of the
American universities. Our deep knowledge of the
American educational system guarantees successful
admission of students.
DISTRIBUTION OF CATALOGS AND APPLICATIONS
All requests for information, application
forms, etc. are served in the Indian sub-continent by the
Foundation, thereby saving students the effort
and expense in protracted correspondence with universities.
PRE-PROCESSING
Our pre-processing
(i.e., credential verification and check for completeness) reduces the
delay in processing applications from the Indian sub-continent by the American
universities. The Foundation ensures that the American universities always
receive applications that are complete in all respects, thereby, eliminating
expensive follow-up procedures. Screening of students' credentials and
veification of their financial capability, right in the Indian sub-continent,
ensures that there are no unpleasant surprises at the American end for
students, Reliable and continuing links are maintained between American
universities and the students, with the help of our state-of-the-art communication
facilities.
VISA COUNSELING
A large number of students fail to
clear the visa process due to poor preparation. The Foundation prepares
students for their visa interviews to ensure a higher rate of success.
It is an admitted fact that in the Indian sub-continent well prepared students
have a higher success rate at the visa office. The Foundation does extensive
visa counseling and holds mock interviews to prepare students for their
interviews.
PRE-DEPARTURE COUNSELING
Our pre-departure
counseling will ensure that American universities receive students who
have reasonable expectations and are better prepared to deal with the changes.
The incoming students assuredly possess adequate communication and interpersonal
skills to adapt to the environment on campus. Pre-departure counseling
ensures that students have a keener understanding of the specific American
university's offerings and requirements, and are better prepared academically,
socially and financially, by the time they arrive on the campus..
FINANCIAL PREPARATlON
The Foundation
provides the students with realistic estimates of the tuition, living and
other hidden expenses. This helps the students to better project and manage
their financial responsibilities. They are made aware of the extent to
which financial assistance, if any, is available to them as foreign students.

SOME
QUESTIONS ON STUDYING IN AMERICA
When
choosing a school in the United States, student's personal preferences
are important. A Student needs to find an atmosphere that will afford him/her
the greatest comfort level. If the student feels comfortable, he/she will
be better able to concentrate on his/her studies.
The atmosphere
at a college or university and its location often make one school seem
quite different from another. International students would do well considering
the following questions--which are similar to those questions American
students ask when choosing a school.
We
require answers to the following questions from the students in order to
facilitate admission in suitable schools.
Do I want to be located in
or near a big city, in the suburbs, in a small town, or in the country?
Is it important for me to be around other people
from my country or region of the world?
What kind of campus am I looking for?
Do I want to be at a residential campus where most
students live in dormitories on campus or do I prefer a commuter campus
where I have my own apartment and drive to school in my own car or take
public transportation?
Do I prefer a large campus with many students from
all around the world or a small campus where I can get to know teachers
and other students more easily?
Is it important for me to have many people from
my country at my school?
How much help and support will I need?
Should I pick a campus that has a very well-developed
foreign student office or do I prefer to independently make my own decisions?
Does this school offer the exact degree program
that I am interested in?
If I am not sure what I want to major in, does
this school offer enough broadly-defined degrees
that I can change my mind once I have been admitted?
Can I make use of my degree at home? If I am studying
engineering or business, is it the type of information that can be
used at home?
What are other students like at this institution?
Will I be able to compete academically with them?
Are weather conditions important to me?
Do I need to be in a warm climate? A cold one?
In the mountains? By the sea?
Would I like to experience four distinct seasons
during the year? How cold does it get?
How hot does it get ?
How much does it cost? Can I afford it?
Is there financial aid available? (Remember, for
undergraduate study in the U.S. financial aid is scarce).
Is my English level high enough? (Remember that
even in an engineering or other technical
field of study, the ability to analytically read and write English
and speak clearly is mandatory.
Students are expected to actively participate in
class. All degree programs have general education requirements.)
Where does
the student get the answers to the above questions?
We will
provide the relevant information for answering these questions.
