Students

Our international student community represents 38 countries around the world. Alamo Colleges values the importance of our students and faculty developing global competence to enrich our community and in turn, employers seek culturally skilled individuals who have the global knowledge in their areas of expertise.

International students can apply to four of our five colleges - Northwest Vista College , Palo Alto College , St. Philip’s College, or San Antonio College . International students studying at one of the Alamo Colleges will receive a form I-20.
