Loans for PhD student in Brazil

[Johndg2]

Hello everyone, I've got somewhat of an odd question.  I am most likely going to Brazil for a PhD program.  The stipend that they are offering isn't that bad, but I would like a bit more.  I've been searching for loans online for US grad students in Brazil and have not come up with anything.  If you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.!

Perhaps if you could say where exactly you'd be studying I could have more data on local possibilities, but I know nothing about how loans work in the US.

Hey @Johndg2, 

I am Brazilian and I have never heard of student loans for international students. We have something called FIES but it's mainly for Brazilian students. You could check Fulbright's website to see if there are any scholarships that may apply to your case.

Also, you could take a look on CAPES' and CNPQ's websites, since they have a bunch of scholarship opportunities.

Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
