Two-year colleges in the United States are also known as community colleges.Hp laptop battery, Students earn an associate degree. Or they can train for a job for a year or two and get a certificate.

Community colleges are less costly than other schools. Some international students can even get a year of education for free.PP2182L, 345027-001, 342661-001, pb995a, pavilion dv6000(hp dv6000 battery)battery The United States government and the colleges pay the costs in a program called the Community College Initiative.

Six countries took part during the first two years: Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, South Africa and Turkey. Now those countries are joined by Cuba, Ghana and most of Central America. Local Fulbright committees generally nominate the students.

The program provides job training for people who otherwise could not attend college. They learn skills their countries need, like agriculture and health care. Vocational school teachers and administrators from Egypt can also receive professional development through the program.

The program began two years ago with 84 students and six colleges.PP2182L, State Department officials say more than five hundred students will attend 37 community colleges this fall.

Where students are placed depends on what they want to study. The program is also a chance to learn about America and its people. And it gives colleges a way to expand their diversity. The students live in dormitories or apartments or with local families.

Carol Stax-Brown is an administrator of the program for a group called Community Colleges for International Development. She says they look for people who have had some work experience, speak some English and want to experience another culture. The program includes English classes in the summer before school starts for those who need them.

Carol Stax-Brown says colleges in some countries might accept credits from the program. But this is not a way to immediately transfer to four-year colleges and universities in other countries, including the United States. Students cannot return to,PP2182L, 345027-001, 342661-001, pb995a, pavilion dv6000(hp dv6000 battery)battery the United States for two years after they finish their year of study.

A Web page is being developed for information on the Community College Initiative. For now,345027-001, students from countries in the program should contact their local Fulbright committee or United States embassy.
