International Education News
Spring is in the air, but before we can get into full-blown preparation
for NAFSA, we’ve got to help thousands of international students
through tax time - the filing deadline is tomorrow! So for all of your
procrastinating students, we’ve got step-by-step resources to help
them through the process, simply and on time.
We’re also pleased to announce the rebrand of our cultural
exchange group insurance business, from Work and Travel Insurance to
Envisage Global Insurance - a simple name change that was anything but
simple. This month we also feature a great pre-NAFSA discount on
Featured School packages, and some insight into the technical challenges
of providing quality content in multiple languages.

for the Envisage

Spring Savings that Last the Whole Year
 Sign up for any of our recruitment
packages before the close of NAFSA (May 31) and receive 20% off. That’s a year’s
worth of exposure and targeted inquiries for your school, giving you a steady flow of
exposure and interest all year long. But it’s a hard deadline - we need that
signed paper in hand before June 1.
Why sign up? Our school partners are receiving dozens of quality student inquiries each
month and thousands of searching students are reading the school’s story, in their
own words, on InternationalStudent.com.
For a further spike in connection, interest and inquiries, try a Google Hangout. Take a
look at the success that McNeese
State had with their last one. We will even give you 20% off the Hangout.

Work and Travel Insurance Rebrand
 For the last 8 years, Work and
Travel Insurance Services has provided insurance to leading cultural exchange and youth
travel organizations, and we are delighted to announce its new name: “Envisage
Global Insurance.”
The decision to rebrand was driven mainly by the desire to better reflect the diverse
nature of the business, and to tie the business more closely with the overall Envisage
brand. Envisage Global Insurance provides tailor-made group insurance solutions to
clients in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and the Middle East. We also
insure groups and organizations that provide programs across a wide range of purposeful
travel genres such as work/travel, high school, language learning, trainee/internships
and au pair.
Full details about the rebrand can be found in our press
release.

Language Optimization
 It’s a no brainer that
we, a company that focuses on international student web traffic, would think long and
hard about how we make our websites as informative as possible in multiple
languages.
This year we are expanding our language selection and translating as much of our
existing content as possible. The marketing rationale behind the concept is obvious and
doesn’t need repeating. What I want to talk about is the technical aspects of
offering content in multiple languages.

Tax Return Resource for Your International Students
 Every
year we receive a lot of questions from international students about filing a US tax
return. We’ve continued to enhance the Tax section of InternationalStudent.com/tax to
directly address these questions and provide step-by-step guidance on how, when and what
to file, depending on your situation. This year we also hosted a live Hangout On Air
solely devoted to filing a tax return and associated forms as an international student.
If you’re sending a filing deadline reminder to your international students,
please let them know about these free resources:

Our next Hangout is scheduled for April 23rd at 11am EST and will cover college
application tips for students that want to study inside the United States.
