Many students find funding from organizations dedicated to helping students become leaders in education, both locally and around the world.
We encourage students to explore the many external funding opportunities available to assist them in financing their graduate education. Many of our students have found success by searching for external scholarship through FastWeb, ProFellow, and ScholarshipOwl. You can also explore options below to learn more about external scholarships, fellowships, and private loans.

Private Loans
Educational loans from private sources require the borrower to demonstrate a satisfactory financial credit history. You can apply for private loans directly via the lender's website. International students might qualify for private loans if they (or a cosigner) have three or more years of U.S. credit.
Learn more about private alternative loans on the Penn Student Registration & Financial Services website.
