Can my friend go to school, or study in the USA with a J-1 visa?
Hello all, My friend is currently in the USA on a J-1 Visa and would like to go to school, or study there. Can he study on a J-1 visa? What school, community college can he study go to that is not too expensive and in the St. Louis area? Is he eligible for a student loan, or federal assistance coming from a foreign country? As he is already in the US could he get a student visa, or transfer the J-1 to a student visa? Any advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

He can go to STLCC (Saint Louis Community college- I attach a link below), the best way for him would be to switch from J-1 to student visa, apply to college and extend his student visa as long as he is studying. He won't be able to get a student loan or financial aid. Starting the F1 visa process Select a school that accepts international students and submit your application. The school must be accepted by the USCIS to sponsor foreign students. When the school receives and accepts your application, it inputs information about you to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). The school will then send you an I-20 form, which you will need in order to obtain your visa. Getting your F1 student visa To obtain your visa, you will have to go to the nearest US consulate. You will have to show the I-20, your passport, pay the necessary visa fee, submit form OF-156 Application for a Nonimmigrant Visa, and show evidence of financial support. Please note that you must be able to prove to the Consular Officer that you have strong ties to your home country. In general, it is a good idea to be very organized for this meeting (you are, after all, going to study รข€“ try to look like a good student!). If you are turned down, ask the consular officer how you can apply again. If approved, the consular section will enter into SEVIS that your visa has been issued.

He must do what he was admitted to the US to do under the J-1 visa program, which could be post graduate study. So, if he was granted the J-1 visa to do research etc., then this question is moot. Otherwise, the answer is no, he cannot study in the US on a J-1 visa. As a foreigner, he is not eligible for any federal assistance. He can get loans though the private sector. He will have to lerave the US to get a student visa.

Do private high schools in USA offer scholarships
Do private high schools in USA offer scholarships?
I'm from Australia and I'm moving to CA in August. Apparently my parents want to put me in a public school because it's for free, but from other people's experience on Y!A they told me it's better to go to private school. It's just my parents aren't very rich but still can pay the tuition fee but I want to save the money for them. Anyway to private high schools offer scholarships? Thanks

There are quite a few, and many local/state competitions. The best thing to do is to speak to your high school college counselor to find out what is available in your area. They should know.

Yes, there is a GREAT survival school and the admission is free. The United States Army, The United States Marine Corps are two of the best. Both have been building character for over 200 years.
2 :
Sure! As many forests, rivers, and canyons there is in the U.S.A, there has to be a survival school. But many of them are weeks long, intense, not for children, and cost a lot. But there is probably a survival school in a church, school, or maybe for your kids, scouts! I don't know, maybe you could google it?
3 :
Probably not one you want to enroll a child in. They seem to be either run by militia organizations or the far right wing. There are some organizations that run schools that use wilderness schools to development self image and self acceptance. One is Outward Bound and if you live on either coast or the Great Lakes, you could check out sail training programmes that also do this kind of work..
4 :
yea they do
5 :
There are survival *courses*, but are you talking about tough-love programs where they dump kids in the desert and then wonder why one or two get heat stroke and die?

it depends...are you looking for popularity or success? because Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts is popular... but Juilliard School is extreamly successfull but also hart to get into
2 :
There's no such school; sorry. I'm sure other respondents will list the "usual suspects" of actor training programs: Julliard, NYU, Carnegie-Mellon, etc. But, the bad news is that NONE of those schools guarantees you anything. Ultimately, you'll walk into auditions and directors and/or casting directors will ask to see your WORK...not your diploma. The best acting school for YOU is the one at which you'll get the best possible training. And that's something you won't know until you get out there and investigate dozens of different options. You need to write letters, pay visits to campuses, talk to professors, sit in on classes, talk to current and former students of those programs, etc. Find the faculty you CONNECT with; the ones that you truly believe can move you forward. That's the school for you. Oh, and by the way...don't leave the Professional Theatre Training Program at the University of Delaware off your list; they're the best.
3 :
Schools do not trigger your success, they train you as a performer. It is up to you and your agent to trigger your success. Schools give you the tools to become an actor, the rest is up to you. You don't want the most popular school. You want the school that has a staff of EXCELLENT acting teachers that consistently produce well-trained actors!
