Financial Aid for International Students

State and federal financial aid is not available for international students; however, there are some other resources that you should investigate:

1. Check with the undergraduate/graduate department to which you have been accepted or are applying to determine if they have any possible fellowships, assistantships, or graduate scholarships available.
2. There are several FREE on-line scholarship search tools and a Scholarship Bulletin Board.
3. There is also a Financial Aid Information Page sponsored site specifically for international students at: http://www.edupass.org
4. There is also another International Education Financial Aid information page at: http://www.iefa.org
5. There are a number of private education loans that are available to international students who can provide a cosigner who is either a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident of the U.S. Some of these lenders are:
   • Citibank CitiAssist Loan
   • TERI Alternative Loan
   • Nellie Mae Grad Excel Loan
   • Sallie Mae International Loans
