What private study loan can I apply for?
I am a 17 year old malaysian. Does anyone know any good private study loan which I can apply for? Please do help me if you have any information. Thank you.
As an international student studying in the United States, your loan options will be very limited unless you have a co-signer who is a US citizen or permanent resident.
International students with eligible cosigners can apply for the Sallie Mae Signature Loan (http://www.salliemae.com/get_student_loan/find_student_loan/undergrad_student_loan/private_student_loans/signature/ ), the Citibank Citiassist Loan (http://studentloan.citibank.com/slcsite/fr_ccund.asp ). There are plenty of others, but these two are quality loans that have become quite popular.
If you do not have a cosigner, you can try to apply for a loan through the International Student Loan Program (ISLP), which works with banks in your home country to help you obtain a loan through them. You can read about this unique loan here: http://www.internationalstudentloan.com/international_student/index.html . You might also consider the GATE student loan program: http://www.globalslc.com/
