                                        Application Requirements

We welcome all applicants 17 years or older who have completed high school or its equivalent. No minimum test score is required for application.

Student Visa:

During the academic year (September through the middle of May) each term at H.E.L.P. is 8 weeks long and requires a student visa. Summer terms, however, are only 4 weeks long. If you will study for only 4 weeks you do not need a student visa. Studying longer than 4 weeks requires a student visa.

This school is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students.

HELP issues I-20AB forms (certificate of eligibility) for applicants who are accepted into any of our study programs that are longer than 4 weeks. Applicants should take the I-20AB form to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in their countries to obtain an F-1 (student) visa.

Please contact the HELP staff if you have questions about your application for a visa to study at HELP.
