It depends on the graduate school. A select few schools are Title IV certified, which means they’re recognized by the US government and US financial aid can be applied there. Some other foreign schools also have tuition agreements with US universities, where you pay your bills at a US school but attend overseas. Check with the school you’re thinking about attending for more information.
