Step 2: Prepare application documents: Fill in all the required registration forms by the school, including transcripts, letters of recommendation, essays, English test results (such as TOEFL or IELTS), and some other documents requested by the school.

Step 3: Learn about finance and scholarships: Consider financial options such as scholarships, loans, or other sources of funding. Research and apply for the appropriate scholarship (if any) within the allotted time.

Example: Scholarships from Harvard: The official website of Harvard University provides information about the scholarships and financial aid the school offers to international students. You should carefully research these scholarships, including application requirements, recipient selection criteria, financial constraints…

Step 4: Apply for a student visa: Apply for a US student visa (usually an F-1 visa for undergraduate students) and follow the visa application process, including application, interview and pay related fees.
