Students from Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea, or Thailand may be eligible for an interest-free loan from ASIA-HELP, a program run by IIE. Further info is available at http://www.iie.org/asiahelp/guides.htm. The school must agree to grant/loan to the student at least as much as ASIA-HELP does.

Of course, it is for a variety of reasons and we are sure this problem exists for other schools. What kind of suggestions or options are available for these special students? Does the school offer assistance or are there lending institutions which specialize in helping? We would appreciate any assistance you can offer.
