<p>I didn't pay much attention when my son applied to Yale-NUS along with Yale, but now that he's gotten in and might actually go there, I need to learn fast about getting financing for studying in a non-US school. Not just a study abroad semester/year, but an actual degree overseas. Help!</p>
<p>Kinda sketchy, they say they have strong FA program, but it looks like they only have scholarships, some of which are need based and some of which are merit based:</p>
<p>[Financial</a> Aid](<a href=“http://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/index.php/apply/financial-aid.html]Financial”>http://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/index.php/apply/financial-aid.html)</p>
<p>The need based scholarships look very limited. </p>
<p>What I’m not seeing here are any instructions for how you apply for general need based FA (eg. FAFSA, Profile). </p>
<p>I would call Y FA directly and ask.</p>
<p>They don’t seem to be on the US Dept of Education list of qualifying schools for Sallie Mae loans for study abroad, but maybe they are too new. I think you’re right, I have to contact them and find out if they expect to be on the list at some point.</p>
<p>I’d suggest you try regular Y to start with and see where they direct you; it’s easier and they’ve always been very helpful when I’ve called them.</p>
<p>Wow, it looks like this college is just getting started…opening this coming August. It would be an adventure for sure. Press releases say it’s the first liberal arts college in Asia.</p>
<p>I’m wondering since it a Singaporean university granting a degree from the National University of Singapore and not a US degree granting institution if the joint venture can even grant federal aid? I’m guessing not.</p>
<p>I was curious about US students attending university in countries other than Canada (which I have seen on the FAFSA drop down) and found this at FAFSA.gov. I did not see Singapore in the dropdown and I searched on National University of Singapore and didn’t find anything. Perhaps this is something that will happen in time as the college becomes more established. I did find it interesting that US students can sometimes get aid to attend colleges out of the US - that I did not know.</p>
<p>Eligible means that U.S. students may borrow money through the U.S. federal student aid programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) while enrolled in an eligible program at an eligible foreign university or college.</p>
Any updates on this? We are in the US with an EFC of $0. If daughter goes to Yale she will get a full ride plus be Pell eligible. Is it treated the same for Yale-NUS?
