出国深造
2010.07.31
最近接到同学们很多有关出国深造的资询. 笔者虽非此行专家但旅居美国多年对当地教育略有所知, 现仅将美国情况略作介诏给同学们参考.
因为多数西方国家为发达国家,有很多地方值得我们学习, 其中如欧洲之英法德, 北美之加拿大和美国,再有就是大洋洲之澳大利亚和新西兰.
美国大学分公私二类: 美国没有国立大学仅有州立大学, 这些州立学校的经费由该州税收提供, 它的宗旨是培养本州居民子弟, 学费没有私立的高, 但来自外州或外国的学生收费即会较高些因为他们没有在该州纳税. 州立大学因经费有限而未能聘请顶尖教授所以声誉一般, 但也有例外如加州 UCLA, UC Berkerley 和 UCSF 等州立大学排名都很高.
私立大学如哈佛, 耶鲁和史坦福等名牌大学因校友之捐赠, 学校基金十分雄厚所以可以聘请顶尖教授. 这些大学收费较高,入学条件要求也严格, 并非普通学生所能考进.
美国今年学校费用全面上涨, 每年学什费约2-3万元美金不定. 因经济不振失业者多和政府的移民法收紧不许非居民打工, 留学生找工作因此较难但也不是完全无望.
除了上述之外,美国有些学挍是免费的, 如海陸空三军和 USCG官校, 外加7所海事大学这些特种学挍每年所录取之新生均来自国内50州国会参议员和友好国家政府所保送.
Students who attend any of these U.S. academies receive a full ride. They also receive a monthly stipend in return for service. Although each program is different, most require applicants to obtain a congressional nomination from their state congressional delegation. Applicants must also pass a physical fitness test and meet other requirements.

State University of New York Maritime College
此外就是一些较小的教会大学, 它们虽然不收费但条件是学生必需替学挍工作.
10 Colleges and Universities with $0 Tuition
Attending a college or university doesn't have to be expensive. There are a number of schools--both online and traditional institutions--that offer free tuition or low-cost learning options. Here is a list of 10 colleges and universities that fall into one of these two categories.

Every student who attends Kentucky's Berea College receives a full-tuition scholarship worth more than $25,000. Berea also helps students with other costs, such as food, room and board, by providing a work study program. Students also receive a free laptop to use while they are in school. Berea offers the opportunity to major in many different subjects. The most popular majors are business, manufacturing, family studies and human development.
US News and World Report ranks Alice Lloyd College among the best U.S. colleges to graduate with the least amount of debt. This Kentucky school offers guaranteed tuition to any student in the college's 108-county Central Appalachian service area. Students work 10-20 hours each week to pay their way. Alice Lloyd offers degrees in a wide range of fields as well as pre-professional programs.
The Princeton Review ranks Webb Institute among the Best Value Colleges in America. The school is known for providing a top-notch engineering education along with full-tuition scholarships to anyone who attends. Students live in a mansion while they attend school and participate in paid internships for extra cash.
College of the Ozarks
Located in Missouri, the College of the Ozarks is a conservative Christian school that cheerfully discourages student debt. The school has been nicknamed 'Hardwork U' because students work 15 hours each week to graduate tuition-free. The College of the Ozarks favors applicants who are financially needy. Popular majors include business, teaching, education and criminal justice.
The Curtis Institute of Music offers full-tuition scholarships to everyone who gains admission. The school is very particular when it comes to applicants, accepting only 160 new students each year. Those who do get in can expect to receive an excellent education from one of the best music conservatories in the world.
The City University of New York offers full-tuition scholarships to students who enroll in their Teacher Academy. Every student who enrolls is eligible. Students also receive a full-time teaching position in a New York school upon graduation.
Both the University of Washington and Washington State University offer need-based programs that pay full-tuition and fees. The programs are available to in-state residents who meet State Need Grant or Pell Grant requirements. Special scholarships are also available to out-of-state students who need help covering the cost of tuition.
At one point, the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering offered a full-tuition scholarship to anyone who attends. The school has since reduced the scholarship policy by 50 percent. Even so, Franklin W. Olin College still offers one of the largest merit scholarship programs in the country to all admitted students.
The University of the People is the world's first tuition-free, non-profit online university. Students who enroll are not required to pay any tuition. Study materials are also free. However, there are modest fees ($10 to $100) for taking tests at the end of each course. Fees work on a sliding scale depending on the country where you live. The University of the People does not confer degrees yet for either of their programs (business administration or computer science.) But the school is in the process of applying for accreditation, which means that they may be offering degrees very soon.
