Is it true that international students can't apply for financial aid? Only Scholarship?

Question

I'm graduating in the U,S, as an exchange student and also going to college in the U.S. But I don't know if that's true

Answer 1

Lena,

You will need to check with the particular college or university you wish to attend! Rules vary everywhere.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Yes you can apply for financial aid, but you'll need a U.S. cosigner. A cosigner is someone with good credit that will sign your applications and extend their good credit to you.

You can also apply for scholarships, which are free sources of money that you can use to pay for tuition, and you don't have to pay them back.
