• Separate application is generally not required; decisions are made during the admission process

Federal Aid for Graduate International Students

Federal regulations and University policy severely limit the types of financial assistance available to international students. University admissions policy requires that international students (those with F-1, F-2, J-1, J-2; and G series visas) have enough resources to meet their expenses through their stay at the University; students with these visas are not eligible for federal student aid.

Non-U.S. citizens may qualify for need-based student financial aid programs if they are one of the following:

• A U.S. permanent resident with an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-151, I-551, or I-551C)
• A U.S. national (includes natives of American Samoa or Swain抯 Island)
• An eligible non-citizen with an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service showing one or more of the following designations:
  • Refugee
  • Asylum Granted
  • Indefinite Parole and/or Humanitarian Parole
  • Cuban-Haitian Entrant, Status Pending
  • Conditional Entrant (valid only if issued before April 1, 1980)

Note: If you have only a Notice of Approval to Apply for Permanent Residence (I-171 or I-464), you are not eligible for federal student aid.

Citizens of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau are eligible only for Federal Work-Study.
