<p>So- I have just enrolled directly in an undergrad degree program at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), which is ranked the top University in Asia, and even better than Brown University- whether it is exactly is not the point I'm getting at, let's just agree it's a legitimate institution -however, to quote directly from a member of the faculty I've been dealing with "HKU is no longer a participating institution for the FAFSA since summer of 2008 due to the differences in the audit requirement in the 2 regions."</p>

<p>The government in Hong Kong has got such a strong student financial aid program that I have yet to find any market in HK for private student loans. Sadly, the government of Hong Kong doesn't feel like they need to fund my education as a US citizen.</p>

<p>I've got a willing US cosigner (even though I've been independent for several years now), but I still appear to be up **** creek without a paddle. Does anyone know how or where I could get a student loan to study at this prestigious institution while it is lacking in a FAFSA number and I am a US citizen?</p>

<p>True, as far as u are NOT a HK citizen u can’t apply the government loan… better check the loans/grants in US for studying abroad - they know what HKU is right?!
By the way, if u can find a few tutor jobs you can afford the tuition. >HK$150 for a hr, so it just depends on how u want to earn money.</p>
