school financial aid

[Hd1170 30]

For someone who is on a k1 visa and who is adjusting status but does not yet have the green card what is going to be our best option when it comes to financial assistance for schooling. I realize he is not eligible for any financial aid through the government but the little information that the school gives me makes it sound like private sponsors and churches are the only other option. I have a good job but we don't have an extra 40,000 sitting around the pay for school upfront.

What kind of school charges $40,000 up front?

its a small christian university so while it may not be 40,000 up front it is expensive.

 

My question is will I be able to get a private loan for his schooling fees? (yes i have a good paying job, good credit and own my home.)

There’s no issue with private loans, although those backed by the US government would generally be unavailable.

 

Are they treating them as a resident or international student? If the latter, it may be better to wait until you meet residency requirements then start classes. Or once the green card is issued, then more opportunities become available.
