American Student Loans and Federal Student Aid

Find out what federal student aid is available for US students, if you’re eligible and how to apply.

What financial aid is available for US citizens? 

The ßÏßÏÊÓƵ participates in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program. As a US citizen or eligible noncitizen you can apply for a Federal Direct Loan if you have accepted an offer of a place at the ßÏßÏÊÓƵ on an eligible programme. This includes undergraduate and postgraduate courses. 

You may instead choose to take out a private loan through a private education lender.

You will not be eligible for a PELL Grant or a Perkins Loan as these are not available to those studying outside of the United States.

Applications for 2024/25

The Financial Aid Office will be accepting loan applications for the 2023/24 academic year from June. Find out how to apply.
