Tuition - International Pharmacy Students!!
Started by Mapi
Ok, since no one has replied, I"ll try. I'm not an international student and don't know much about how they pay for fees. But I don't think international students can get grants, or even federal loans. You'd probably have to get a US citizen (maybe a family member) to co-sign your private loans for you. Also, some pharmacy schools might ask for proof to make sure that you have enough money to pay for the four years via showing your bank balance...some med schools do that for sure. Sorry, I don't know what scholarships would help you in this case. Goodluck

To add to what rxgal8 had to say, if you are not U.S. Citizen or green card holder, you cannot study in US unless you have a student visa or other special visas (usually like family members of ambasaddors and stuff). To get a student visa...you must get an admission first, but you also have to prove that you have sufficient funds to continue throughout the course of study. It's fine to receive scholarships but they don't like to give you much help since ... the govt accepts those students cuz they spend big money on their education. All right, so your best bet is any scholarships that your pharmacy school is giving out and taking out loans at your home country.
Im in the same scenario. I am on an F1 visa from australia, i have a tennis scholarship which has covered my last 3.5 years and will cover another year, but the last 2 years I will have to finance myself somehow... still not sure what I will do
