Most individuals coming to the school from other countries are supported by their governments, employers or health organizations. Foreign students who have not formally been awarded a scholarship from the school at the time of admission are highly unlikely to receive a scholarship after arrival at the school. The Of ce of International Services issues certi cates of eligibility and provides advice and counseling to foreign students, faculty, and staff concerning visas, work permission, travel and social security applications. The Johns Hopkins International Society aids students in establishing social acquaintances and provides programs for cultural, social and educational exchange. Informal English language instruction is available to students' families.
Membership is free to foreign students and staff.
