Government loan programs

The United States Department of Education administers the Federal Student Aid (FSA) program. The University of Melbourne does not participate in this program, so we can’t accept direct loan applications or in-school deferment requests.

Private loan programs

Education loans are available to US citizens and US permanent residents from non-government US lenders, with approval based on credit history.
