Stafford Loans for Australian Schools

Here is a very sticky question I have about federal Stafford Loans for Australian schools. There are some Australian medical schools that are undergraduate programs. There is a big difference between the amount of money available for someone entering an undergraduate program as opposed to a graduate program. If I apply to one of the 5 or 6 year programs how much aid can I get from the Stafford program?

Ummmm

Call me crazy, but I didn't think any Aussie schools were eligible for Stafford loans?

Flinders

According to Flinders, this school is eligible for Stafford loans, however this is a graduate entry program. I'm looking at a 5 year undergraduate program because I would like to practice in Australia.

An added complication is that some 6 year programs will be 5 year ones by 2005.

so check out the 6 years ones as well.

Your best bet would be to contact the U.S. Deparment of Education and get a list from them. I did this with Caribean and Eastern European Schools and they sent me a list in about 2 business days.

Undergraduate Medical Schools

DrB, you mention that Graduate entry programs qualify for Stafford, but what about Undergraduate Medical schools in Australia. Do other professional programs such as Australian Dental schools qualify for US Stafford Loans?
