Is there any scholarship for international student?

Is virtual zoom considered the “new” onsite?

tanks

thanks*

@aya please contact the insurance department healthinsurance@academyart.edu

If I want to start with CPT next summer (after I have 1 year on F1 status), how soon should I start planning an internship?

@Laura yes, "onsite" class has virtual classes via Zoom

I live in SF currently, and I would like find a on campus part-time job. Where can I find all the available position on campus job opportunity? Thank you!

Following to Pauline question about CPT, does AAU have any network with company around bay area that could provide CPT

@Paulina for CPT, you must have a job offer, when you have a job offer, please contact your student services advisor after you meet CPT requirements

@Laksamana We have a career development center which helps you to complete your resume and also they help you to apply for jobs

grants and scholarship info can be found here:https://www.academyart.edu/finances/scholarships/

Thank you! When is the best time to start reaching to companies?

@Aya health insurance is automatically included if you enroll more than 6 units

Does international students can apply for financial aid?

How tight should the job be related to our major? (IE can an advertising major work as graphic designer)

@Xiadi as far as I know, financial aid is for domestic students

Can I be self employed?

Is the scholarship offer once a year or both Spring and Fall semesters?

@Xinyu please contact your student services advisor for scholarship

Ok thanks!

Is there a way to know if your program qualifies for STEM OPT?

@polina CPT is curricular practical training which requires you to wrok under supervisor

@Michelle we have 15 majors for STEM, please find more info from our website

@Michelle https://my.academyart.edu/students/my-academy/student-resources/international-student-resources#emp-auth

should we declare our major in AAU, or our major is applied automatically when we enrolled in AAU

Thank you Cherry!

@Laksamana could you be more specific? what do you mean by "declare"?

Does international students can apply for financial aid?

I guess after 1 year when we meet all the qualified requirement for CPT, if we only took basic classes how do we determine what our major is?

@Xiaodi Financial aid is most likely for domestic students. You may find more for details

Thank you

@Laksamana your need to decide your major although you take only foundation classes in your first year.
