Am I eligible for Student Loan.How do you guys manage to do degrees if you don't have sufficient funds to do that.
By the way I have work permit and can work.But jobs related to medicine are not available.Please guide me How can I pay for the degree courses.

couple of ways of doing this.

1. If you are good, you can land a RA/TA/GA position at the university you are enrolled at - this will generally pay your tuition and also leave you with enough funds to survive - best case scenario.

2. you have a GC...cool..so you work side by side and try to raise money. Depending on what college you go to, it may be possible to pay off your tuition and live...at expensive, private colleges, this might not work.

3. Student loans. piece of cake if you have a GC - explore the work-study option.
Federal stafford loans and other things.
If no GC or citizen - private loans, piece of cake if you have a cosigner who is a GC/citizen with good credit history. Downside - they are expen$ive!!! eg. Citibank

Hope this helps!
