The United States and Canada are two of the most popular countries for Chinese students to study in. Not only do these countries offer quality education, but the chances of getting a high-paying job after graduation are also pretty high.
One of the biggest factors that students must take into account is the high cost of living when studying overseas. Affording the tuition costs and adjusting to life in the US or Canada is a challenge for all international students - and this is equally true for students from China.
The number of Chinese students entering the U.S. has continued to rise over the past years - with almost 370,000 Chinese students in the U.S. in 2019. And despite the huge number of foreign students entering the country, there are still millions more who dream of doing this, but are concerned about the cost.
If you’re one of them, then you’re in the right place as we’ll help you turn your dream of studying in the U.S. a reality.
Useful Pointers knows that thousands of Chinese students need additional funding to afford to study in the U.S. This is why we offer student loans to Chinese students who wish to study in the country.
We also offer loans for US students pursuing a degree in China.
Students from China studying at eligible Canadian universities may find loan programs availalabe to them. In most cases a co-signer is not required when studying in Canada.
Like all private education loans, students in Canada can use the funds to cover part of or their entire tuition fee, as well as living expenses and school-related costs, medical insurance and travel costs.
Make sure to research your lenders before applying in order to find the loan that best suits your needs. Compare interest rates, repayment options and enrollment requirements before choosing a lender.

The majority of students will require a cosigner, the cosigner needs to be a permanent resident or a U.S. citizen who has a good income history, good credit rating, and has lived in the U.S. for the past two (2) years.
There are also no-cosigner loans that are available to students at a growing number of universities and colleges. If you do not have a cosigner, you can check whether you’re eligible for a loan without a cosigner.
