Welcome to the 161st issue of the
International Student News!
With the new school year just around the
corner, many students are still applying for
international student loans which are available!
Students can now compare loans from up to 7 lenders!
We also have a new Virtual Student Fair
kicking off in August - sign up early to meet schools
from the USA online.
To increase your chances of getting
approved for an international student loan at the best
available rate, all non-US citizens and many US citizens
will need a creditworthy US co-signer - but who can you
turn to? The most common sources are family and friends,
but think outside the box and consider cousins, aunts or
family friends?
All US loans require a creditworthy US cosigner who has
lived in the US for the past two years. If you’re ready
to take control of your future, find a family member or
friend that you trust.

For Taufan, studying in Turkey is a dream come true. He
came to Istanbul all the way from the Central Java town
of Semarang on a scholarship that the Turkish government
offered for a six-month Turkish language course.
“I will go back to Indonesia in September and hopefully
will go again to Turkey next year for my post-graduate
program in international relations,” said the
21-year-old man who is captivated by the glory of
ancient Turkey and the history of early Islam there.
Hey, I'm from Germany and
studying one semester in Australia. Therefore I've
got a normal 6 month Student Visa and I'm working
besides. Is there a chance to get the taxes back (I
pay atm 29% taxes) at the end of my study abroad
here? Has anyone tried this yet?

placement rates of graduates, the high starting
salaries, or the variety of applications—the decision to
