International Students
Federal financial assistance may be available to international students who qualify as eligible noncitizens. Generally, a student is an eligible noncitizen if the student is:
- A U.S. permanent resident with a Permanent Resident Card (I-551)
- A conditional permanent resident (I-551C)
- The holder of an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing one of the following designations:
- Refugee
- Asylum Granted
- Parolee
- Cuban-Haitian Entrant
To be considered for federal financial assistance, eligible noncitizens must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, eligible noncitizens must meet all other requirements necessary to receive federal financial assistance. (For more information, see the Eligibility section of this web site.)
Students that are neither U.S. citizens nor eligible noncitizens are not eligible for federal financial assistance. However, these students may still be eligible for other types of aid such as university-based scholarships.
