The International Student Loan Center

Each year over 200,000 Americans study abroad and nearly 600,000 international students come to the USA to study. However, studying abroad often requires financial assistance for extra expenses such as travel, accommodations and materials, which can make it a greater financial commitment. InternationalStudentLoan.com is here to help, by offering a range of international student loans and study abroad loans to international students and Canadian students in the USA and for US Students studying around the world.

Why get an International Student Loan?

For the most part, students struggle to fund their international education. Scholarships and grants are always available, but if you are one of the lucky ones to receive one it will still not cover all your expenses. That is where an International Student Loan will help you. Our lender partners offer n o application fees or other out-of-pocket fees and preliminary approval in as little as 15 minutes. Normally, funding is very quick, but currently processing and funding times have slowed down.



Interest rates have gone up substantially! We are also experiencing processing and funding delays due to the turmoil in the student loan marketplace. Borrow as little as you can -- make sure you exhaust all other avenues for funding first. Use scholarships, personal and family funds, and any other money you can first.
