Hi everyone,
I’m a senior from Iran. I’m applying to US colleges and universities in the approaching months.
Does anyone know whether colleges are still providing financial aid to Iranian students or not?
Hi
My name is Danial and I’m another senior student from Iran who is concerned about getting financial aid
@crimson23 @inamas There are no specific rules or regulations on Financial Aid for international students from Iran, specifically. Same opportunities and limitations exist as they do for all International Students as a group. Please make sure to review the information provided by each university/college in terms of FA for internationals on their website. Also, please make sure to look into the process and requirements of obtaining a US student visa. Best of luck!
Iran and USA don’t have good diplomatic relationship…in fact, there isn’t even US embassy in Iran. Also, with current political ambiance, you may have little chance of getting student visa.
@paul2752 @Inamas @crimson23 The above general statement on visa availability for students from Iran is not quite correct as presented. Below some pertinent information in this respect from the official government website: https://ir.usembassy.gov/education-culture/study-usa/student-visas/ Of course students from Iran, applying for a student visa, face both the same requirements as other student visa applicants and a more lengthy security clearance process, yet nothing which can not be overcome. Student visa holders are one several groups excluded from the US travel ban.
