Hey, I'm currently in the process of applying to study medicine internationally in a couple countries in the Middle East. For my circumstances and personal life goals this is something that I really want to do and I hope to use this opportunity to broaden my perspective of different cultures. I have been researching scholarships for international students and there are some that cover full tuition + accommodation. However, I don't want to put my entire trust in the scholarship incase I don't get it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find private student loans that work for international programs?
P.S. Sorry if this is really long for no reason. It's my first time posting on Reddit.
Does anyone know private loans available for U.S. students wishing to study medicine in the Middle East?

Check with banks that do international education loans – they usually have specific programs for medical studies abroad. Just make sure you understand the terms because interest rates can be pretty brutal on private loans, especially for programs outside traditional study destinations.
Also worth looking at whether the medical schools you’re applying to have partnerships with any lenders, some of them have arrangements that could work in your favor.
