Are Student Loans Possible to Get for International Students?

You are here: Home / Blog / Are Student Loans Possible to Get for International Students?

July 13, 2019 //  by Amit Kumar

The United States is a dream location for an educational degree throughout the world. The reputation of education in the U.S. can be seen in humungous costs associated. The cost of living and tuition fees can combine to a terrifying $30000 per year. While financial statistics boasts a challenge, International students do have options to take loans.

What are the loan options available?

International students are not eligible for federal loans in the U.S. These loans are a life saver for U.S. citizens and some non-citizens. Non-citizens here means the permanent residents in the U.S. that have stayed in the country for a long time. You can also check your eligibility online.

 Private loans are available for International students for completing their education. Getting these loans is a tiring task and requires a consignor. A cosigner is necessary because international students do not have a credit score in the country, and risk is higher while lending to them. Cosigners are required for some American students, too, as students do not have an income and guarantee of payment.

If you are new to the country and do not have any contacts, getting a cosigner is difficult. The good news is that not all private lenders require a cosigner. Some of them lend money to international students without the need of a credit score.

Steps to get a student loan

Receiving a student loan as an international student requires proper research. International students are the most common victims of exploitation and fraudulent activities. Be Careful and know the right process of approaching the situation.

  • The first step, which is often overlooked, is estimating the requirement. Calculate the cost of tuition, accommodation cost, education supplies, food, and other miscellaneous costs and reach a final value. Some students consider the tuition costs and forget about the money required for survival in the country. Avoid this mistake for a quality time in the U.S.
  • Get a cosigner before you search for lenders. This will prevent any last minute hassles. If you are not able to get a cosigner, then you need to search for lenders that do not require one.
  • Once going clear about the cosigner situation, you can start the search for private lenders. You can search offline or through intelligent tools available online.
  • Compare lenders and make the best choice based on ease of application and the interest rate. Once selected, you need to continue with the formalities. Fill out the form and follow the directions of the lender to finalize the loan.

What are options other than a private loan?

International students cannot receive federal loans. However, there can be financial aid programs in the school you want. States also give financial help sometimes to encourage educational tourism. International students can also receive scholarships through tests or qualifications.

What is the fee structure for international students?

International students usually have to pay out-of-state rate or a separately designed fee structure of the school. The policies of different schools vary, and some may provide education at in-state rates too.
