American diplomacy relies heavily on students having the freedom to travel, and India is one of the places where this is most evident. Let’s wish this year’s class all the best for their academic success! Don Heflin, Minister Counselor for Consular Affairs, said: “I hope there are many appreciative students and parents out there. We are thrilled to have done our part to support Indian students in pursuing a top-notch education.”
Despite the recent flu pandemic, the US has continued to be open and welcoming to international students. US higher education institutions have implemented policies to safely welcome international students in person, online and through hybrid learning methods in 2020. This will guarantee. There are ample opportunities and resources for international students at US institutions.
