INTO University Partnerships Expands Supported Direct Entry Routes To US Universities For International Students

INTO University Partnerships, a global education partnering organisation, is expanding supported direct entry routes to graduate and undergraduate degrees for international students at several partner universities in the United States.

 This pioneering approach will allow many more international students to access affordable additional support and services, empowering them to succeed in their academic journeys in the US.

Supported direct entry programs offer international students a unique opportunity to gain admission to a range of US universities with enhanced support provided by INTO Centers located on campus. The service is designed to meet the aspirations of international students, providing exceptional quality support at an affordable additional cost.

This support is meticulously crafted through tailored tutoring and orientation, onboarding processes, and ongoing personalized support both academically and culturally. The enhanced support duration ranges from one semester to one year, depending on individual student needs and university requirements.

"Supported direct entry programs represent our commitment to empowering international students to thrive in their academic journey," said Jeffrey Bialy, Recruitment Director at INTO University Partnerships. “We believe that by providing enhanced support to directly admitted students, we can support them to achieve their full potential and make the most of their educational experience in the US.”

The programs are available for both undergraduate and graduate students, with a variety of options offered by INTO and partner institutions, including Oregon State University, George Mason University, Suffolk University, Hofstra University, Drew University and The University of Alabama at Birmingham.

"More than ever before, Indian students are opting to study abroad to pursue their educational and career aspirations. The supported direct entry programs are designed and optimized to meet their needs and support them in their academic journeys in the United States," said Diwakar Chandiok, INTO’s Vice President of Recruitment for South Asia. "Through the supported direct entry programs, we aim to empower students to reach their academic goals and attain success in their careers."

INTO and its university partners are committed to making this experience and support accessible to all qualified students. Generous scholarship awards for supported direct entry programs are available, ranging from USD 1,500 to 8,000 for graduate students and from USD 2,500 for one semester to USD 10,000 per year for undergraduate students. With scholarships in place, students can enjoy the benefits of supported direct entry without significant financial burden.
