International Student Loans in the USA

Updated on 21st April 2008

International students in the US can apply for an International Student Loan for the current semester, for the summer term or for the full academic year that begins Fall 2008. With the current credit crunch creating uncertainty in student loan markets, the best advice is to apply early for your funding for next year.

As an international student at approved schools in the US, you can use this loan for tuition, books, room and board and even a computer! Even better, you can defer payment until 6 months after you graduate or drop below half-time enrollment!

For more information and to apply directly online please see International Student Loan

When you plan to study in another country, the best way to start is to gather as much information as possible and do as much research as you can to learn about that country. We have created our "Study Centers", where you can find information, resources and advice for studying in a particular country. Each center will offer information about the country, the culture, the climate, etc.. but will also provide you with detailed information about the education system and how you can prepare yourself to study there.

We currently provide study centers for international students who are planning to Study in the USA, Study in the UK, Study in Australia and our Study Abroad center is for US Students who are looking for a semester (or longer) outside the USA.
