Following is the list of activities – a ‘step by step process’ followed by FINO Consulting to provide complete services and satisfaction to the students

The IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, GMAT, GRE and SAT test scores are prerequisites for admission and financial aid to the specific universities and colleges. Universities in the United Kingdom, USA, Australia and other countries also recognise these tests. Performing well in these tests can be crucial for admission in the universities, for scholarships and visa. A difference of some extra points in these tests could result in affecting many decisions, for example financial aid may not be awarded in the form of Teaching Assistantship or Research Assistantship We help you with getting the application form for the examination, filling and submitting of the same. We also support training which will help you in securing high scores.

Information and Decision Making

Students are assisted by the FINO Consulting’s team member in making a final choice in terms of the right course and the right University / College in a specific Country balancing the student’s requirements and the eligibility factor. It is significant to understand various offerings of a country and University should the student need to be on the right path of achieving the long-term goal. Further, certain destinations are exceptionally known for their education relating to a particular industry for instance Switzerland for ‘Hospitality and Tourism’, etc. 60 % of the problem that the students face is the selection of the ‘right mix’. Once this is achieved, admissions are the responsibility of FINO Consulting. Students not only save money in this process as the applications are only made to specific Institutions (considering the application fees that most Universities charge) but also save valuable time – perhaps a pre-requisite trait for any successful student.

Application Processing and Admission

A good application with all the required details and documentation: Creates a positive impact on the Institution, thereby increasing the prospect of securing admission and Also marginally reduces the inconvenience that might be caused to the University / College on account of reasons as missing documents, incomplete application, etc. However, the students are often unaware about the application procedure and the documentation to be submitted. We assist all the students with the precise documentation that is required to be submitted along with the application forms. We keep regular contact with the Universities / Colleges regarding the status and progress of students’ applications. Therefore, our students are relieved of the follow-up activity.

Student could leverage the expertise of our team members to give them ‘the edge’ in this extremely competitive admissions process. FINO Consulting team members will assist the students edit their ‘essays / statement of purpose’ and provide insights on just the right constituents that make documents unique and personal. It is rather significant to note that the visa officer rightly needs to review all of the students’ documents (academic and financial), thereby making the documentation all the more significant. FINO Consulting also sends its ‘recommendations’ highlighting individual students’ strengths, explaining reasons for a student to be granted an admission. Universities in general consider this in their decision.

Some Universities request for consultant’s confidential assessment of the applicant / student. English language tests (IELTS / TOEFL) may be waived on the basis of satisfactory feedback of the student by the consultant

Scholarships Guidance

Scholarships & Financial aid fee waivers are awarded to international students on the basis of academic merit and the need of it. All awards will be at the discretion of the Scholarship Committee of that institution. Candidate with strong academics, good performance on standardised exams & extra curricular achievements would be eligible for scholarship awards & financial assistance. In addition to this the university considers all aspects of the application so the presentation of the application package is also important because one is judged by the image one projects. Some Universities offer special Scholarship/Fee Waiver/Aid to our students. Ask your counsellor for the current list in various countries.
