BURS DURUMUNUN AMERİKA BİRLEŞİK DEVLETLERİ’NDEKİ ULUSLARARASI LİSANSÜSTÜ ÖĞRENCİLERİN DENEYİMLERİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

Her yıl, dünyanın farklı ülkeleri binlerce uluslararası öğrencinin Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'ndeki lisansüstü programlara kaydolmasına sponsor olmak için milyonlarca dolar harcıyor. Bununla birlikte, burs durumlarının genel deneyimlerini etkileyip etkileyemeyeceği, nasıl ve hangi koşullarda etkileyebileceği konusunda çok az şey bilinmektedir. Uluslararası lisansüstü öğrenciler tarafından tamamlanan bir anketten (N=107) yola çıkararak, devlet destekli burs programlarının uluslararası lisansüstü öğrencilerin genel deneyimleri üzerindeki etkisi tartışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, devlet destekli burslu öğrencilerin algılanan İngilizce yeterlilik düzeylerinde daha az yetkin olduklarını ve burslu olmayan öğrencilere kıyasla çalışmalarında daha fazla zorlukla karşılaştıklarını ortaya koydu. Bu çalışma, hem ABD üniversitelerinin uluslararası öğrenci hizmetleri ofislerindeki uygulayıcıları hem de Türkiye Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı burs programını, burs durumunun uluslararası lisansüstü öğrencilerin genel deneyimlerini etkileyip etkileyemeyeceği/nasıl etkileyebileceği konusunda daha iyi donanımlı olmaları konusunda bilgilendirmektedir.

THE IMPACT OF SCHOLARSHIP STATUS ON THE EXPERIENCES OF INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE U.S.

Abstract

Each year, different countries around the world spend millions of dollars to sponsor thousands of international students to enroll in graduate programs in the United States. However, little is known as to whether, how, and under what conditions their scholarship status may influence their overall experiences. Drawing on a survey completed by international graduate students (N=107), the effect of government-sponsored scholarship programs on international graduate students' overall experiences is discussed. The findings of this study revealed that government-sponsored scholarship students were less competent in their level of perceived English proficiency and face more challenges in their studies compared to non-scholarship students. This study informs both practitioners in international student services offices of U.S. universities and Turkey’s Ministry of National Education scholarship program to be better equipped with the knowledge of whether/how scholarship status can impact international graduate students’ overall experiences.
