Brian from Nomad Credit explains how scholarships can be a good option for international students to help fund their education in the United States.

Scholarships should be the first option that an international student on an F1 or J1 visa should look for to help fund your studies after you are admitted to a school.

• Scholarships are free and you don’t have to pay them back unlike an education or study loan.
• So our advice is to search for scholarship opportunities from your university, organizations in the U.S. or organizations in your own country.
• After you’ve looked into scholarships, we would be more than happy to help you find education loans or study loans to help fund the rest of your education.

Nomad Credit is a great option for international students on an F1 visa or J1 visa to search for the financial products they need. We can help H1B visa holders find what they may need, too.
