APPLYING TO AN ESL PROGRAM IN THE USA
Applying to an ESL program in the USA may involve slightly different procedures at different programs and school types. For instance, applying to an ESL program at a high school will be different than applying to an ESL programs at a major university or at a private language institution. However, there are some general guidelines you can follow, which are listed below.

Step 1: Choose a program
before you can apply, you must research ESL programs in the USA and choose the best program for your needs. The United States offers a wide variety of ESL options, so you should have no problem finding a program that will give you what you want. Be sure that the school is approved by US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Step 2: Double check the entry requirements
Different ESL programs at different school types will have different entry requirements, such as minimum grade, minimum age (some schools have specific age restrictions), letters from officials at your present school, a certain level of English, certain scores on specific language tests (TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS, MELAB).

Step 3: Know when and where to apply
  • Apply early

    • Some ESL programs and colleges have specific application deadlines for international students, while others accept and process applications all year round. Because space is often limited, applying as early as possible is a good idea.

  • Apply directly to the program

    • This step may vary widely between programs, as each program will have a different set of application requirements and guidelines. The best way to find out about the application process is to contact the institution offering the program. You may be required to complete an online application or mail a paper application; you might have to arrange for official transcripts to be sent from your home institution (including certified translations if necessary).

Step 4: Pay your application fees and any other fees
Most schools with ESL programs in the USA have an application fee, and some may require all or a part of your yearly tuition (usually a tuition deposit of between $200 and $800) to be paid before they will issue a letter of acceptance.

Step 5: Apply for your study permit
Once you have your letter of acceptance from a USCIS-approved school offering the ESL program, you can apply for your non-immigrant student visa. Since visa application processing times vary, be sure to leave enough time before the beginning of the program to apply for and receive your visa.
