Most financial aid for international students comes in the form of scholarships or private loans.
Private Loans
Private loans are offered through private agencies and lending institutions (such as banks) other than universities or the federal government. If you are an international student with an eligible U.S. citizen or permanent-resident co-signer, you may qualify for a private loan.
