Study in America. Is Polish financial aid/loans available for Polish students in the US?

20 Jul 2011 / #1

Hello,

I'm a polish student which lives and study in Germany. I would like to go to college in America, Nevada but I would need financial help. Does somebody know something about polish loans?

Polish loans? Hahahahahahaa....HAHAHAHAHAHA.

No, sorry, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Sorry, but if you're Polish - then you should know what's available - exactly nothing. There are loans available for studying within Poland, but these are never going to be available to study abroad.

However, American universities do boast wonderful scholarship programmes - I suggest you contact individual institutions and see what's on offer. For instance, any Ivy League university will offer truly amazing packages - if you're good enough.

Just a heads up, American schools tend to be a lot more challenging than Polish schools at the university level. I don't know about German schools though.

You'd be surprised at some of the various scholarships, available to eligible applicants. There are even scholarship programs for virgins.

Las Vegas isn't really famous for it's schools, you know that right?

Probably not a lot of virgin scholarships offered in Sin City!

I thought it was strange she was so specific about studying in Vegas. I'm guessing someone she's yearning for already lives there. :))

Either way, her best route might actually be to apply for a scholarship in a German university, they'd take care of the F-1 visa, all the legalities, etc., and she'd end up with a degree good for Europe and the US.

I'd say that a German degree would be as good as it gets.

Viadrina makes a hell of a lot of sense for Poles - on many courses, they get a "German" and a "Polish" degree for the same course.
