It is possible for international students to acquire loans from U.S. lending organizations. In some situations, you must apply with a credit-worthy U.S. citizen or permanent resident as a co-borrower.
Private loans are available through several lending agencies. Most loans carry a variable interest rate, but there are some that offer fixed-rate loans. Interest rates can also vary widely from lender to lender for the same borrower. We recommend that students interested in a private loan compare rates carefully and know what their monthly repayment schedule will be. For more information on private loans, including application and disbursement, visit the Private Educational Loans tab on the聽Undergraduate Financial Aid聽web page.
Note: Boston College does not recommend any particular lender or group of lenders to its students and families.
