International Student Loan Program - ISLP Loans

I don't know too much about this but this might be an alternative loan program you could try. It's called the International Student Loan Program.

Details about it can be found here:

US Foreign Enrolled Students

The most frequently asked question from US students enrolled in foreign schools is: "Can I get a Stafford Loan?" The answer is YES. How?… Through the International Student Loan Program (ISLP), InternationalStudentLoan.com offers US government combined with supplemental loans to students enrolled directly in foreign schools for their degree.

InternationalStudentLoan.com was established to provide funding to the large group of students who attend eligible foreign schools but have no one to advise them on the types of financing available. We work with more than 400 foreign schools approved by the US Department of education for Stafford loan programs. If you need additional money, or if your school is not approved for the Stafford loan, you may be eligible for the credit-based ISLP alternative loan. For additional information, visit the "Loan Terms" section or "FAQs" section for answers to some common questions.

This innovative program is designed to increase the opportunities for US students who wish to study outside of the United States. Students should first apply for the ISLP-Stafford loan and then apply for additional funds through the ISLP-Alternative loan. InternationalStudentLoan.com also offers the Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS Loan) to parents of undergraduate students.

We would be happy to send you more information along with a complete application package. You will also be provided with instructions on the loan application process from completing the FAFSA form to receiving your checks. InternationalStudentLoan.com customer support will be there the entire way to help you through each and every step. Your first step is to complete and submit the online Request for Application.

Thank you for your interest!

ISLP-FE Loan Terms

The loan terms can be found here.

http://www.internationalstudentloan....loan_terms.htm

ISLP-FE Loan

Objective:

This innovative program is designed to increase the opportunities for US students who wish to study outside of the United States. Students should first apply for the ISLP - Stafford loan and then apply for additional funds through the ISLP Alternative loan or the PLUS Loan.


Eligibility:

Students must be US citizens or permanent residents and enrolled at approved foreign colleges and universities. Applicant(s) must satisfy credit approval criteria.

Graduate students with a satisfactory credit history may apply for up to US $20,000 on their own signature.


Loan Amounts:

Applicants who apply with a creditworthy cosigner may apply for up to the cost of education (including tuition, fees, room and board) less other financial aid and/or loans. The minimum loan amount is US$1,000.
Graduate students who apply without a co-borrower may borrow up to a maximum of US$ 20,000 per academic year. Medical students may apply up to $18,500 per academic year.

There are links on the top for Canadian and International students too.

I think the Canadian link talks about CanHelp while the international link says that other international students are required to have a US citizen or permanent resident as a co-signer to guarantee the loan.
