Financial Aid and scholarships for international students studying in the US are
limited. However, there are some resources that can help you find information on
scholarships and loans available to international students.
One of the most comprehensive sources for locating funding sources is Edupass which began as the
international student section of The SmartStudent Guide to Financial Aid.
International Education Financial Aid
is a database that identifies scholarship opportunities and banks that have loan
programs for which international students qualify.
The International Education Finance Corporation offers loans to international students
with a co-signer who is a US citizen.
The Margaret McNamara Memorial Fund gives a very limited number of
scholarships to women from developing countries that are pursuing graduate study
in fields that benefit women and children in their respective regions.
The UCSB Graduate Division provides information on fellowships, scholarships, and other campus-based sources
of financial support that are available to all graduate students including international
graduate students.
