International Students
What is an International Student?
International students include any student who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
There are additional application requirements for these students, including a test to prove english fluency (TOEFL), financial statements, visas, and more. We help guide international families through it all!
Worldwide
One-third of our clientele are international students. Our past students have come from China, Mexico, Korea, the Middle East, and more.

Essays
At Lizard, we listen to our student’s stories and work with you to consider possible topics. We help you devise a plan to write the essay, provide samples to review, and guide you through the entire process.
Interview Prep & Resumes
We prepare students throughout the year for college interviews, summer programs, internships, and jobs. We assist with research, questions, body language, and thoughtful responses.
We also craft one-page resumes that are modern and impactful.
Scholarships
Although international students cannot receive federal financial aid, we can provide assistance in researching and applying to scholarships.
We compile charts specific to your college list containing scholarship information, deadlines, and requirements.
Career Advising
Many students are stumped when it comes to choosing a major. Additionally, many students graduate college with a degree that they don’t know how to apply to a specific field.
At Lizard, we advise students on career paths and inform our students of the career prospects for specific occupational choices. We also have helped many students transfer from community college to a four-year institution.
Road Trips
Our team has visited over 300 colleges in the United States, including 100 in California and a few in other countries. We offer a unique, personalized perspective into the college experience.
