Thanks to everyone that contributed to the issue of the loan and co-signer I appreciate, it would have been much easy if there is anyone that has given the loan thing a shot... I have someone that can co-signer the loan to those doubting...cheers 1 Like |

omoluabiguy: Oga stop making noise Google "Prodigy Finance" and "MPower Finance". Things are changing. In 5 years time, we will have a plethora of private firms offering nocosigner loans for Nigerians just as it is for Indians and Chinese people. 1 Like |

Fwesh101:Dude I have used a student loan b4 citizens bank to be precised. Unless you're using a loan company amongst all the previously mentioned prodigy finance and co or your school has partnership with any loan company then you can use all the informations from earlier references but if you're using the regular salie mae and and discover which is now under citizens bank and others all you need is to check previous mention of you 1 Like |

jerrypeacelinks: You should not feel bad about contacting the school... Visa sometimes it out of your control so the school knows that. You won't be the first in this position and wont be the last so most schools are familiar with If I were u i would contact the school asap and let them know so if there is any allotment for fall you can be included. Also since you gone twice maybe it best you defer till fall and come back refreshed. Take heart... some life journies are not smooth but you get there soon . And yes always feel free to ask the school questions. Ask them about what waiver you can get in fall and if there are more offers as well 3 Likes |

LagosismyHome: I think omoluabiguy was talking about those regular private loans that are not attached to those specific programs. The truth is not all programs offer those loans. They will all direct you to regular private or federal loans. And not all loans are acceptable in every school. 1 Like |

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:He posted the information before he went for the interview, and We advised him not to pay for PhD and to defer his admission to Fall for better funding opportunity. I remember him saying some current students assured him that he would be funded once he arrives, but if all that fails, He is prepared to pay for the spring semester until funding becomes available in Fall. I just think We are sometimes a little too eager to leave Nigeria for the USA. However, that's easy for me to say, isn't it? 1 Like |

vinci500:....on a serious note, sometimes when people argue here, its not just for argument sake. You should try to pick one or two things. If I were you, I will be checking out the non US loan facility they have mentioned to see which one will work for me. Nobody that is not blood or very close to you will cosign a loan for you. Cosigning is much more that it seems. |

Time2Smile:I don't even want to imagine the stress of quals, thesis selection, long lab hours and frustration now coupled with running around for money ... lot's of public schools won't even admit if they know that those federal and state $$$ won't be enough for funding doctoral candidates. |

femi312: I have nothing to prove to you. Arguing about this is a serious waste of time. You choose to believe what you want to believe. My joy is that a lot of people here on this thread now know that they can fund their education through cosigner and non cosigner loans as well as get visa approvals with their pre-approval letters. You opinion about it doesn't change that fact. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 13 by EZEIGBO1OFIMO: 2:53am On Jan 01, 2018 |
femi312:when other smaller schools will guarantee funding for 4 years + very nice fellowships and travel allowances. There are many stories of how Professor XYZ will promise heaven and earth for funding, then along the line, either the grant doesn't go through, or the little he gets goes towards his Post Docs and senior doctoral students and you're just left hanging and begging for any lab to accept you .. 1 Like |

Chidinho10: they can fund their education non cosigner loans as well *** This is not the norm / standard practise and extremely difficult to get .. To those who are going to top schools with special arrangement maybe. For the rest then getting a loan without a non co signer is almost impossible |

I fully understand your stance and trust me when I say I followed through the arguments, however none of the non-co-signing loan possibility stated seem to fit into my profile. Also, I understand co-signing is a serious commitment, especially in the case of a default from the primary applicant - Technically, I can say I worked as a credit officer for 2 years and I understand what it means to indemnify someone. That being said, plz if you can help a brother pleasee do (on my knees), you really did raise my hope when I read ur post on helping some1 get a co-signor. Trust me I have a fantastic credit record at least here in NG. femi312: 1 Like |

EZEIGBO1OFIMO: imperiouxx: Yeah, one of the criteria for admission of PhD student in most programs is the availability of funding. The truth is STEM PhD is a full-time job and more, where is even the time or energy to run around for money? To all prospective students reading this or will come across this in perpetuity, never ever pay for a STEM PhD out of pocket. The few that are not funded by their institutions are sponsored by NGOs or their countries. I just hope he gets funding upon arrival because the tuition for a semester can't be less than $15,000. Just imagine what he can do with that amount. 1 Like 1 Share |
