留学美国先找EducationUSA：国务院在全球400多个咨询中心免费帮国际学生选校申请
对计划赴美留学的国际学生来说，美国国务院下属的 EducationUSA 是官方设立的免费咨询网络：它在全球设有 400 多个咨询中心，帮助学生了解美国高等教育的类型、申请流程和奖学金助学金机会，所有咨询服务均免费。
各咨询中心提供的服务包括一对一咨询和团体讲座，涵盖选校定位、申请材料与文书准备、奖学金申请指导，并定期举办线上讲座和说明会。EducationUSA 官网还设有「寻找助学金」（Find Financial Aid）工具，学生可按就读层次和专业方向检索奖助学金信息。美国国土安全部的「留学美国」（Study in the States）官网在 F-1 学生指南中也专门推荐国际学生在申请前先通过 EducationUSA 了解美国教育体系和经济资助渠道。
需要提醒的是，部分地区的咨询中心近年来调整了服务方式：欧亚和中亚地区的许多中心已自 2026 年 4 月 1 日起全面转为线上服务。学生在前往之前，最好先在 EducationUSA 官网查询所在国家或地区咨询中心的最新开放方式和预约要求。（来源：美国国务院）
EducationUSA: The State Department's Network of 400-Plus Advising Centers Helps International Students Apply to U.S. Schools for Free
For international students planning to study in the United States, EducationUSA — the U.S. Department of State's official advising network — offers free help through more than 400 advising centers around the world, covering the types of U.S. higher education, how the application process works, and scholarship and financial aid opportunities.
Services at the centers include one-on-one and group advising on choosing schools, preparing applications and essays, and finding scholarships, along with regular webinars and information sessions. The EducationUSA website also offers a Find Financial Aid tool that lets students search funding opportunities by level of study and field. The Department of Homeland Security's Study in the States website likewise directs F-1 students to EducationUSA in its guide to U.S. study, pointing them to the network for information on education types and financial aid.
Students should note that service formats have changed in some regions: many centers in Eurasia and Central Asia moved fully online as of April 1, 2026. Before visiting, students should check the EducationUSA website for their center's current hours, format and appointment requirements. (Source: U.S. Department of State)
