Funding Opportunities for International Students

Because international students who wish to study in the United States are not eligible for need-based financial aid, it's important to research additional sources of funding. Here are a few resources to get you started.

International Student Insurance

International Student Insurance, provider of health insurance for non-U.S. citizens studying in the United States, provides a list of scholarship opportunities available to international students.

Funding for U.S. Study

Funding for U.S. Study is an extensive database of scholarships, fellowships, and grants maintained by the Institute of International Education. The database includes funding programs for all levels of post-secondary study across the full range of academic areas. You can select funding based on where in the United States you would like to study.

International Education Financial Aid

International Education Financial Aid is the premier resource for financial aid information for U.S. and international students wishing to study abroad. You can search by country, field of study, and type of funding (scholarship, grant, loan, tuition waiver, fellowships, etc.).

InternationalStudentLoan.com

InternationalStudentLoan.com provides access to loans for non-U.S. students wishing to study in the United States and United States and Canadian citizens studying abroad. International students studying in the United States usually need to have a U.S. citizen cosigner when applying for loans.
