It is your responsibility to have credits from non-US institutions translated so that we can evaluate them. Several companies offer this service for a modest fee. Contact the admissions specialist for more information.Is there any financial aid for international students?
Federal financial aid from the US government is not generally available to foreign students. However, your own country may pay for your education in the US. You should also look for scholarships that accept applications from international students.Canadian students may be able to use Canadian federal financial aid for tuition at SMS.
