I've got a lot of messages asking whether it is possible to obtain study loans in the US as a foreigner. The answer is yes, and this is a link comparing the different options:

Most countries and some international organizations also have their own subsidized schemes, but I cannot obviously give you information on them.

I hope it's useful and good luck.

that was indeed very useful. Do you have any information on scholarships for graduate studies available in the US which cater to international students as well?

Let us know please! Although I suspect most deadlines would be nearing, it would be useful to know.

Thanks.

Scholarships are a completely different animal where you really have to do the homework by yourself. This, in particular, because you are asking potential competitors! :P

For Latin American and Caribbean fellow LLMs, this is a link to the "Leo S. Rowe Pan American Fund", where you can apply for an interest free loan of up to $15.000:
