- International Student Information Hub
- Kara just moved to Gainesville from England to get her PhD. She has a home, a car and a bank account but she wants to see how much money she will get from finacial aid before she goes shopping.
- I contacted an International Student assistant and learned that I will be getting $1,000 in biweekly payments!
- Kara remembers that her PhD advisor mentioned that UF recently created an Intenational Student Information Hub (ISIH) that helps international students get used to living in Gainesville.
- Now that I know what funding I have, I can set a budget and shop in peace.
- Kara used the ISIH to learn how finacial aid packages worked and to contact a representative from the International Student Center.
- I was able to get everything I needed to start my first semester in UF's Computer Science Ph.D, program.
- The ISIH site had several breakdowns about how finacial aid disbursments worked and provided access to a dedicated staff of advocates who were committed to helping international students settle into Gainesville. Kara got the information she needed.
- Kara was able to set a budget and shop in peace. The time she spent shopping also helped her get used to the Gainesville area.
- Since the ISIH helped Kara get access to resources and information that she needed, she can now start the semester with plenty of much-needed supplies.
