| Public universities play a critical role in regional economic, cultural, and civic development, and many, such as the University of Minnesota, are deeply involved in advancing knowledge and technology through research. These universities are among the major research universities in the United States and frequently have major involvement in international programs around the world. A series of federal actions in the second half of the 19<sup>th</sup> century provided resources to states to help establish and build universities. Public universities that arose from this federal largesse have a mandate to provide outreach and community engagement to the state in which they are located (e.g., technology transfer, support to agriculture, interaction with primary and secondary schools, and interaction with state and local policy makers). | Public universities play a critical role in regional economic, cultural, and civic development, and many, such as the University of Minnesota, are deeply involved in advancing knowledge and technology through research.

| As a result of the financing structure of large state universities, many graduate students receive financial aid through research assistantships associated with research grants and contracts received by the university. Although many public universities are seeking increased funding to support international exchanges and study, access to financial aid for international students is very limited outside of the aforementioned research/grant funding. Since undergraduates do not generally hold research assistantships, scholarship support for international students seeking undergraduate degrees is quite limited at these public universities. | As a result of the financing structure of large state universities, many graduate students receive financial aid through research assistantships associated with research grants and contracts received by the university.

| Some traditions of public universities in the United States are quite different from those in other countries. Even at these state-supported institutions, students have traditionally paid for part of their education through tuition and fees, and these costs to students are increasing. Today the average student takes out loans in order to help pay for his or her education. Private fundraising plays an increasingly important role in funding projects, scholarships, and positions at public universities. Finally, intercollegiate athletics attract intense interest from students, alumni, and members of the general public, and athletic events generate additional revenue. | Some traditions of public universities in the United States are quite different from those in other countries.

| Among all U.S. universities, large state universities often include the largest percentage of international students and scholars. At the University of Minnesota, our community includes more than 4,500 international students and scholars from about 130 countries. The University of Minnesota provides support services such as counseling and advising on personal and academic issues, orientation to U.S. and university culture, immigration and visa advising, and English as a second language courses, as well as programs and workshops on a variety of topics including intercultural understanding and communication. Many state universities have similar programs in place to help students navigate what can sometimes be a confusing system of administration and academic regulation, although the scope of these services varies from institution to institution. | Among all U.S. universities, large state universities often include the largest percentage of international students and scholars.

| 随着其他国家的竞争日益激烈，美国的任何一所主要大学都不能把外国学生的兴趣视为理所当然。因此，公立大学越来越注重吸引世界各地的顶尖学生。如果你是一个积极进取、自主学习的学生，希望接触到最前沿的知识和创造性的工作，我鼓励你去调查美国大型公立大学中的丰富机会。 | 随着其他国家的竞争日益激烈，美国的任何一所主要大学都不能把外国学生的兴趣视为理所当然。因此，公立大学越来越注重吸引世界各地的顶尖学生。如果你是一个积极进取、自主学习的学生，希望接触到最前沿的知识和创造性的工作，我鼓励你去考察美国大型公立大学中的丰富机会。 |
