Can international students receive aid? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although need-based financial aid isn\u2019t typically available to students who do not meet financial aid\u202fcitizenship requirements, merit-based financial aid may be available for both undergraduate and graduate students from private sources, visit eduPass<\/a> for more information.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loans may also be available to both undergraduate and graduate students who have a U.S. citizen co-signer. These loan amounts are limited to the estimated cost of attendance minus what your resources are; in other words, you can only receive enough aid to cover the estimated\u00a0cost of attendance<\/a><\/strong>. The Division of Financial Aid determines eligibility for the private loan programs<\/a><\/strong> by certifying the application submitted through the private lenders.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial Aid Citizenship Requirements <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To be eligible for federal, state of Indiana and Purdue need-based aid eligibility, a student must be a U.S. citizen or \u201celigible\u201d non-citizen.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a non-citizen to be eligible for financial aid consideration, the student must possess a valid Alien Registration Card I-551 or I-151, be classified as a conditional permanent resident with a valid I-151C Registration Card or have a passport or I-94 (Arrival\/Departure Record) showing one of the following designations:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
