International Students: Financing Options

International students are welcome at educational institutes within the United States and Westwood College is especially excited about your interest in our programs. While U.S. laws and regulations limit the types of financial aid available to international students, at Westwood we focus on those financing options that may help you fund your college education.*

Loans

Check into getting a loan from the International Student Organization. In addition, you may be able to apply for a loan from a bank in your home country.

Scholarships

You can also apply for scholarships. There are scholarships that are specifically for international students or particular ethnic groups. Here are some great web sites to explore these opportunities:

Family, friends, and employers

Family or friends who already live in the United States may be willing to help you work towards your educational goal. They may be able to sponsor you or offer other kinds of financial assistance.

Future employers may be willing to sponsor your education, as well. Research some companies that you would like to work for after graduation and present them with a rationale for sponsorship. Let them know why you would be a great employee after your graduation!
