You can get the same type of loans as U.S. students. The best type of loan for you to get is a federal government loan. Here are the steps you need to take to get one:

1) Fill out the FAFSA. This will determine if you are eligible for financial aid. Go here:

http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

2) Once you are eligible for aid, choose a government-based student loan. The best loan to get is a Federal Perkins Loan. These have low interest rates and the government will help you pay it back as long as you stay enrolled in school. You also don’t need a cosigner or good credit for it. For more info go here:

3) The next best loan to get is a Subsidized Stafford Loan. This has many of the same benefits as a Perkins Loan. Learn more here:

Also, you are eligible to receive scholarships to help you pay for college tuition. These are free sources of money that you don’t have to pay back. You can read about them here:
