New York University has taken the lead in negotiating with major U.S. lending institutions via a competitive bidding process to offer supplemental education financing to NYU students from around the world. In selecting among those lenders who participate in the competitive bidding process, New York University favors the lender(s) who offer the most loan eligibility for the greatest number of students. (See the attached Request For Proposals (RFP) form used by NYU for the lender competition.) We are proud to say that a large number of our current international students have already benefited from these programs.
Citibank, a leading provider of student education financing, offers the CitiAssist Global private loan program to international students attending New York University. Students may borrow in their own name or with an international co-signer. No U.S. co-signer is required.
You are not required to borrow from this lender and there is no penalty for selecting a different lender, if you prefer; we encourage you to compare information from other available student loan providers.
Students may apply for a loan once they have been admitted to New York University. When the loan application form, evidence of admission to NYU, and required financial documents are reviewed and approved by the lender, the student borrower will receive a conditional notice directly from the lender. (The loan will be conditional upon actual enrollment at NYU.)
Select an application:

| > | Law Students, Stern Students (graduate) | PDF | FORM | | |
| > | Dental Students (graduate) | PDF | FORM | |
Once the loan is approved, the funds will be disbursed to the student's account in the Bursar's Office. (Students can monitor their account balance using Albert.)
