Hudson Global Scholars provides free university advising to all Dual Diploma and University Pathways Certificate students that is designed to help students achieve the dream of attending one of our top-quality universities in the US. This includes up to four individualized sessions with an advisor (and parents are encouraged to attend!), as well as the opportunity to join scheduled group advising sessions.

The application process for HGS participating universities is quite streamlined and simple! There are no requirements for SAT/ACTs, essays, or TOEFL. There is also no fee to apply to our participating universities. The process for applying to outside universities tends to be much more rigorous and time-consuming as many schools require essays, standardized testing, and incur application fees.

HGS provides university advising to all students in their programs. For students who decide not to pursue a participating HGS university, our advisors will offer basic support such as consultation, goal setting, and preparation for the common application. If a student needs deeper services, such as essay writing or interview prep, the advisor will recommend alternative advising options to support students’ post-graduation goals.

Yes! HGS recommends that all students either attend a group session (typically scheduled by the local school coordinator) or an individual session, even if they are not sure about their post-graduation plans. Attending a first session is a great way to learn about the unique opportunities available to Hudson Global Scholars students—and students may be happily surprised to learn that attending a top university is within their grasp!

It is never too early to schedule a session with a university advisor, even for students who are just getting started with their academic program. An early session can help students set goals that will help them as they progress in the program and understand how to take full advantage of the opportunities afforded to them.
