Long story short: I'm going to graduate school in London next year after working for 2 years after completing undergrad. Masters are one year programs in the UK, and tuition will cost me roughly $20k. Living expenses will be about $10k.

Before school and tuition are due in September, I should have around 14 to 18 thousand saved. That means I have about 5 thousand remaining to put me in a comfortable place (I can work part-time while in London). I'm a little intimidated because I've never had to get a loan before (my parents paid for undergrad). However, I have good credit and my parents can be a guarantor.

I'm obviously going to start by filling out a FAFSA, but what else do people suggest for pursuing a loan? Or does anyone have any international scholarship programs to recommend?

Thanks,
Alec
