Federal Aid for Graduate International Students

Federal regulations and University of Michigan policy limit the types of U.S. federal financial assistance available to international students. Specifically, international students with F-1, F-2, J-1, J-2, and G series visas are not eligible for federal student aid.

You may qualify for student financial aid programs if you meet one of the following criteria:

  • If you are a U.S. permanent resident with an Alien Registration Receipt Card (I-151, I-551, or I-551C)
  • If you have only a Notice of Approval to Apply for Permanent Residence (I-171 or I-464), you are not eligible for federal student aid.
  • If you are a U.S. national (includes natives of American Samoa or Swain's Island)
