Sponsored Students
Since the 1950s, the TIEC/TIEP Sponsored Student Program has assisted international students in the United States to maximize their experiences in intensive English and academic degree studies in American colleges and universities.
More than 50 sponsors in over 20 countries, representing governments, educational institutions, corporations and other organizations, have utilized our services to enhance students’ opportunities.
Tailored to complement, rather than duplicate, the services of sponsoring agencies, the TIEC/TIEP Sponsored Student Program reduces the overall cost to sponsors by enabling students to complete their academic objectives in the shortest time.
The professional staff of the TIEC/TIEP Sponsored Student Program have assisted more than 2,500 students in completing their academic programs and returning to their home countries.
