myUface Blog

In last week’s mailbag, I answered some of the most common questions about myuface.com.  As soon as I had finished that post, though, I started thinking about three other questions I had forgotten to answer, but which we hear quite often.  So I want to finish them off today:

If myUface.com’s basic services are free to use, how does it make money?

Good question. There are a few answers:

First, myUface.com charges a university a fee whenever a student from myUface.com is placed at their university. Through collecting fees from universities, we can offer our basic suite of services to students at no charge.

Second, myUface.com receives a small amount of advertising revenue.

Third, myUface.com does charge students for a few optional services.

Finally – and most importantly – the reason we founded myUface.com is not to make money. Of course we’d like the site to succeed financially, but more than anything else we’d like to see more international students in the U.S.

Who is in charge of myUface?

myUface is owned and operated by three Americans who together have 27 years of experience in the field of international education, and who have spent a combined 19 years living abroad. We decided to start my Uface because we got tired of seeing bright, talented students who dreamed of studying in the U.S. go to universities in the U.K. or Australia simply because the system of college admissions in the U.S. was so difficult to understand.

We want to help as many students as possible gain access to the world’s best education. That’s why we created myUface.com.

Does myUface.com offer scholarships?

No. But some of our university partners may offer scholarships to outstanding international students. In addition, at the myUface.com blog we will give some advice about international financial aid opportunities.
