The mission of International Student and Scholar Programs (ISSP) is to facilitate global education and cultural exchange at Emory University through services and programs for Emory international students and scholars and the wider community with whom they interact. At present, there is no federal, state or Emory need-based funding available for international students. Check the link to your school provided by the ISSS Emory website to see if there are any non-need based funding opportunities available for your career.

There are student loan options available to international students. As an international student, you may borrow up to full cost of education minus any scholarship/other aid provided you meet the eligibility requirements set forth by the lender.

Please select the following link to review specific borrowing options for Private Educational Loans for International Students: Private Educational Loan Lender List for Undergraduate International Students.

PLEASE NOTE: You are not required to use any of these lenders – the choice of lender is yours.

Important Notes:

• The cost of attendance for student loans is set by Emory’s central Financial Aid Office.
• You may only borrow one academic year at a time. You cannot borrow the full cost of the program on one application/promissory note.
