International Students

Loan Options for International Students

Quorum Federal Credit Union and Johnson has partnered to offer a no co-signor loan to admitted students in our full-time two-year MBA and Accelerated MBA program. This loan program is available at a competitive rate, allowing international students to borrow up to the cost-of-tuition without a co-signer, as long as the international student either has no credit or at least good credit in the United States.

Details and terms of the loan will be sent directly to international students who are offered admission.

Please note: Johnson does not allow US student loans to be used on a declaration of finances form.

Global Student Loan Corporation (GSLC) and HSBC have designed an international student loan program to provide funding specifically to students from India to attend U.S. schools. This solution enables you to borrow funds to cover the complete cost of education - tuition, room, board, books and equipment. A U.S. cosigner is not required but you do need a cosigner from your home country. Visit www.GlobalSLC.com to view loan terms and conditions and to start your loan application!

Private Educational loan Programs: International students also have the option to borrow through a US lender with a credit worthy US or permanent resident co-signer. A co-signer loan may carry a lower interest rate.

We have a neutral lender list which students from Cornell have previously borrowed through. Students may choose any lender, including one not on our list:

Chase Select offers a loan program for international students with a U.S. social security number and a credit-worthy U.S. citizen cosigner or U.S. permanent resident cosigner. The rate is determined by the cosigner's credit history. Visit their website at http://chaseselectloans.com/

Citibank offers a loan program for international students with a credit-worthy U.S. citizen cosigner or U.S. permanent resident cosigner. The rate is determined by the cosigner's credit history. Visit their website at https://www.studentloan.com/

Sallie Mae loans are available for international students with a credit-worthy U.S. citizen cosigner or U.S. permanent resident cosigner. Visit their website at http://www.salliemae.com/

International students should investigate all sources of funding within their own countries, such as government scholarships and loans, private agencies, and bank loan programs.
