International students enrolled in the University Program are NOT eligible for Federal student loans or need based grants and loans from Case School of Medicine. International students ARE eligible for our merit based aid IF they meet the requirements set by the admissions committee and are invited to apply.
International students enrolled in the College Program receive a full scholarship covering tuition and fees. In the 5th year of study or the year in which students do research, there will be a continuation fee equal to 5% of tuition; this is covered by the full tuition scholarship. A stipend will be provided for students to support living expenses in the research year. Financial aid resources to cover living expenses for international students in the College program are very limited.
Most outside grants, scholarships, and loans for public and private sources are restricted to U. S. citizens.
There are several private lenders who have loan programs for international
students. When comparing loans, it is important to look at the loan
terms (such as interest rate, capitalization, and deferment options).
Some lenders are also now offering repayment benefits (such as an interest
rate reduction for payments automatically taken out of a checking or
savings account). Weigh all the benefits and then choose the lender
that is right for you.
There are several lenders available. All lenders will require
a co-signer who is an U.S. citizen with good credit. We
suggest the following lenders:
Not all scholarships require students to be US citizens. You should conduct a scholarship search online at general sites such as www.fastweb.com and www.scholarships.com.
