| FINANCIAL
AID FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS |
|
|
| International students are not eligible for federally funded financial aid administered by the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship programs and therefore should not submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). An international student is a non-resident alien on a non-immigrant visa which permits full time study in the United States. A student must be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen (permanent resident) to receive federal financial aid. Please note: Students who have a "Notice of Approval to Apply for Permanent Residence" (Forms I-171 or I-464) or an "Application for Voluntary Departure Under the Family Unity Program" (Form I-797) are NOT eligible for federal financial aid. |

|
| Private (Alternative) Educational Loans |
| Most
alternative (private) educational loans are available to international
students if they have a credit-worthy co-signer or co-borrower who
is a citizen or permanent resident of the United States. To obtain
more information about these loans, please see our alternative
loan web site. |
| Graduate Students |
| All merit awards, which are grants, scholarships, assistantships and fellowships, are offered to international graduate students by the academic departments and programs. The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship Programs does not administer merit awards. We recommend that you contact the specific academic program to inquire about these type of awards. If you do not know the academic department or program, you may contact the Graduate Awards Office for this information at grad@syr.edu. |
