I am currently studying in the USA and I am expected to graduate in 2011 as an electrical engineer. Even though i am satisfied with my education, I would like to go to a graduate school to learn more about renewable energy. The problem however, i do not have funds (and I do not want to ask more money to my parents since they paid way a lot of money on my education). I was hoping that i can find a private loan that can help me out. From my many searches online, I found that to get the loan, an international student needs to have a cosigner otherwise you cannot. I was wondering if there is any possibility to have a loan without a cosigner. I have a social security number as well as any other personal identification information in case this can help me out. Also, since i will be a graduate level student, I will likely have some grants/scholarships that can reduce my education cost. Also, I will be hopefully working as a teacher assistant and I hope that I will need a very small loan that i can pay in less than 2 years. Any suggestion? Please send me an email at perspicuous@yahoo.com Hope that this does not sound picky but those of you who are giving contact email addresses with no name, how do you want me to trust you? Sorry guys but I wanted a trusted company with a website where you can find more info
