Scholarships programs and similar initiatives sponsored by various corporate and public institutions have made studying abroad accessible for most international students.

Indian governmental and commercial banks and other financial institutions have stepped in to provide education loans to students from all walks of life who want to pursue their dream of studying abroad.

On the other hand, financial institutions have established stringent eligibility requirements for students to qualify for an education loan.

2 FAQs

Question 1: What is international student loan eligibility in the USA?

Answer: Students who are not US citizens or permanent residents but seek to attend a recognized college or university in the US. Almost all borrowers require a creditworthy co-signer who is a US citizen or permanent resident. Loans without a co-signer are becoming increasingly popular.

Question 2: Is there a limit on how much money you can borrow as a student?

Answer: You can ask for up to the total cost of your education, less any additional financial aid provided by your school, as determined by your institution. You can also contact the financial assistance office at your respective university to learn more about it.

Question 3: Can a non-US citizen or a US permanent resident obtain a loan while studying in a different country?

Answer: Loan programs are only available to international students studying in the US and US citizens studying abroad. 

Question 4: Can I still acquire a loan if my school isn't on the list?

Answer: If your school does not appear on our list of qualified schools, we cannot provide you with a loan. We recommend contacting your school directly to see if they know of any loan programs for international students.
