Effective October 2, 2008, the only loan programs from U.S. financial institutions available to International students at Haas require the student to apply with a credit-worthy U.S. citizen or permanent resident co-signer. While there may be other loan programs available that do not appear on the comparison chart, these are the only three loan programs that we are aware of that will lend to international students at Haas -- and all require a co-signer for international students. Due to the difficulty in finding a U.S. co-signer, and the potential cost of interest charges, it is strongly recommended that international students exhaust all other sources of funding prior to utilizing a private loan.
