Haas:
International Students
Private Educational Loans
The University of California Office of the President, incoordination with the various UC campuses, has developed a preferredlender list comparison chart of the private loan options available tostudents. The lender list was developed through a competitive RFIprocess and finalized June 9, 2008 for the 2009-2010 academic year. Private Loan Comparison Chart.
Effective October 2, 2008, the only loan programs from U.S.financial institutions available to International students at Haasalmost exclusively require the student to apply with a credit-worthyU.S. citizen co-signer. Our office recently surveyed a number oflenders about whether they loan to students classified asinternational, namely those on an H-1, F-1, or J-1 visa. We asked ifthey require a US Citizen co-signer or just a Permanent Residentcosigner. We also asked if they require a Social Security Number orITIN. The chart on this page reflects the results of that survey as ofDecember 1, 2009.
Bank
Loan to Intl Students? Require Co-signer? PermRes Co-signer? Require SSN of Borrower? If yes, allow ITIN?
Berkeley Credit Union Yes Yes unknown Yes No
Chase Yes Yes Yes Yes No
Citibank Yes Yes Yes No not applicable
Discover No not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable
SunTrust No not applicable not applicable not applicable not applicable
Wells Fargo Yes Yes No Yes Yes
For example, if you have a Permenent Resident (Green Card Holder)Co-signer, your most viable options are either Citibank or Chase.
The Haas School's Office of Financial Aid does not receive, andwill not accept, inducements from lenders in exchange for inclusion inthe private loan comparison chart; nor does the Haas School share inthe profits from student loans.
Berkeley Full-Time MBA Loan Program for 2009-2010

No interestaccrues while the recipient is in the program, and repayment begins sixmonths after graduation. Though one of the intentions of the loan is toassist in paying tuition and fees, as with other educational loans, thefunds may be used for other educational expenses.
