Will I qualify for federal loans?
Medical school tends to be more expensive for international students because they often don’t qualify for federal loans. If you need money for school, you’ll likely have to take out a private loan. According to the Federal Student Aid office, a non-citizen is eligible for federal aid if they’re a U.S. national, permanent resident, or have an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office that lists their status as a “refugee,” “asylum granted,” and a handful of other designations. You can find out what those designations are by visiting the eligibility requirements page on their website. That page shares some more requirements for qualification as well.
