US Loans
Introduction
Queen's University is recognised as a Foreign School by the US Department of Education and holds a Title IV Agreement. Our School Code is G22736. This website provides guidance for US students about accessing federal and private loans to fund their studies at Queen's University Belfast.
Like most Foreign Schools, Queen's University Belfast does not have a Financial Aid Office. US Loans are administered at Queen's by International Student Support, based in The International and Postgraduate Student Centre- email usloans@qub.ac.uk. Once you have applied for Federal Student Aid we will guide you through the process by email. You are also welcome to call in anytime to the office if you have a query. 
Eligibility
US government loans are generally available to eligible students who will be undertaking Bachelors, Masters or PhD programmes at Queen's, except for programmes in Medicine and Nursing. They are not available to students on postgraduate diploma or certificate courses. Students must receive an unconditional offer from Queen’s and be studying at least half-time. You also cannot take more than 150% of the normal time to complete a programme; Approved leave of absence will not be considered in the calculation. After registration students in receipt of a US Federal Loan cannot study away from Queen’s University.
There are three types of US Federal Loan – Subsidized (available to undergraduates only), Unsubsidized and Plus Loans (available to graduate students or the parents of dependant undergraduates). You may borrow only up to the estimated cost of attendance for your programme (including tuition, subsistence and airfare)
Please note that all loans must be repaid. It is the responsibility of the borrower to repay the loan, and to clarify the interest rates, repayment terms and conditions prior to application.
