International student in need of advice

Colleges and Universities A-Z New York University

<p>Hey, since I have received that NYU Reception thingy I think I got accepted. If I'm not mistaken then there are no scholarships for international students (I live in NJ, but dont have a green card) - am I right? I would need about 6000-8000 financial assistance. Do you guys have any idea how I could find any source of financial aid? Or how can I find a cosigner:P This really sucks to be admitted and not to have enough money to attend a school :)
Thank you guys for any help
Still having hope</p>

<p>I meant 16000-18000 - is it possible?
at least I have a satisfaction :)</p>

<p>Bank Loan
Sell a kidney</p>

<p>For a bank loan I need a cosigner :) And I dont know anyone who could do it for me.
I like my kidney too much :D</p>

<p>tedjj, who do you live with? Is it parents or other relatives?</p>

6

<p>its my parents</p>

<p>ouch, that's unfortunate...</p>

<p>but i agree with the kidney idea, you only need one to live, and i'm sure the value of an NYU education combined with saving a life would outweigh your love for said kidney :D</p>

<p>but in all seriousness, what about student loans? one of my friends is hoping to attend brown university and she will be paying for it almost entirely in student loans (by herself)</p>

<p>well International students need a cosigner to take a loan - and I don't know anyone who could do it for me... My parents cant take huge loan cos we have been here only for about 2.5 years so we don't have credit history</p>

<p>Did you fill out FAFSA? I certainly hope you did, because you never know how the financial situation will be handled by admissions offices.</p>

<p>FAFSA is for US citicezns not internationals:P</p>

<p>tedjj
I sent you a PM, please check, and PM me back if you like.</p>

<p>hmmm, it seems like the title of this thread should be "international student in need of financial miracle" rather than "advice"</p>

13

<p>hmm i got this thing in my package, its a loan with citibank and you dont need a US cosigner, only a home country sponcer cosigner.
The catch is:Interest is Prime Rate + 2% aka you are getting ripped.</p>

<p>I see. I will see what I will get:)</p>
