Information for Applicants Who Are Neither U.S. Citizens Nor U.S. Permanent Residents
An applicant who is neither a U.S. citizen nor a U.S. permanent resident does not have eligibility to apply for U.S. Federal educational loans. (Applicants who are neither U.S. citizens nor U.S. permanent residents should not fill out a FAFSA form.) However, several private (non-federal) educational loans allow application by such students if they obtain a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident co-signer. The co-signer must supply a U.S. social security number, have a satisfactory credit history, and demonstrate sufficient current income to repay credit obligations (including the educational loan). The student applicant also should provide a U.S. social security number if possible. With a creditworthy co-signer, a student can borrow up to the cost of attendance. Tulane determines the borrower's maximum loan eligibility based on the Cost of Attendance , less any other financial aid received. The interest rates are variable. For more details on these private commercial education loans (and/or to verify the latest information, which may be changed by the lenders without notice), contact each agency directly.
