Another way international students can help themselves pay for their tuition is by applying for student loans. Even as an international student, you can apply for these loans if you meet certain requirements:

• you must be enrolled at an approved college or university (undergraduate or graduate level),
• you will need to have a U.S. citizen or permanent resident willing to sign as a co-applicant,
• your co-applicant(s) must satisfy credit approval criteria
