The total cost of studying in America varies greatly from one university to another. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to have a clear picture of all the financial aspects beforehand &#8211; and find out how you can save money through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/en\/wiki\/faq\/what-is-a-scholarship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scholarships <\/a>. Here&#8217;s what you need to think about to fund 1 year of America.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. What are the basic costs of studying in America?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-52fa188e01c85ac2871a20365ec0f4d8 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/en\/wiki\/faq\/costs-of-studying-in-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost to study<\/a> in America averages between $10,000 and $80,000 per year. This amount includes: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tuition (tuition)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Residence on campus (housing)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meals (meal plans)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insurance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Academic facilities and access to services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-56512a95961b485400844062d70a6722 wp-block-paragraph\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/en\/wiki\/faq\/what-is-a-student-athlete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">student-athletes<\/a>, all costs surrounding sports are also included, such as sportswear, materials, physical therapy and transportation to competitions (by bus or plane). These sports expenses are always fully reimbursed by the university. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. What is the impact of a scholarship?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">The cost of your studies in America depends greatly on whether &#8211; and how much &#8211; scholarship you receive. There are two types of scholarships: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-b514007d4b0df22a376d33c2f0f55e3e\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/en\/wiki\/faq\/what-is-an-athletic-scholarship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Athletic scholarships<\/a>: based on your athletic level and value to the team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-5ba1122433d137a99f845fb19828be51\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/en\/wiki\/faq\/what-is-an-academic-scholarship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Academic scholarships<\/a>: awarded based on your school grades, GPA and entrance test scores.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The higher your level, the more likely you are to receive a full or partial scholarship. Universities decide whether they offer scholarships, and for what amount. Slamstox helps you get your maximum scholarship out of it &#8211; often by cleverly combining sports and scholarships.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. How much money do you have to pay yourself?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-4dbdd89e645b0d45f863ede82bef7acc wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">In addition to fixed costs, there are<a href=\"https:\/\/www.slamstox.com\/en\/wiki\/faq\/other-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> personal expenses <\/a>that you pay for yourself. Consider: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Airfare to and from home<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Subscription for your phone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leisure activities (outings, cinema, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clothing and personal items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tip: Keep an annual personal budget so there are no surprises.
