Boteva quoted in U.S. News and World Report story about questions for international student offices

Orlina Boteva, director of the Office of International Programs at the University of Maine, was tapped for a U.S. News and World Report story about questions that international students should ask of their school’s international programs office. Boteva said that universities often have different financial aid policies and scholarship deadlines, typically in January or early February. “International students should apply as early in the application timeline as possible to maximize their opportunity for scholarship consideration. Some universities stop awarding scholarships after a set and published deadline, while others offering rolling admission may continue to award scholarships,” Boteva said.
