Can students recieve federal financial aid if they only have a tourist visa in the United States.?

Bela

No, nor can you be admitted to a school. You need a student visa -- F or J.

Laurie

No. What's more, they cannot legally attend school...

No. You can't attend school on a tourist visa. You need to apply to the school, get acceptance, then take that to a consulate to get an F1 visa. International students are not eligible for financial aid at the undergraduate level. In fact, you'll have to prove that you have enough money to support yourself in order to get the visa. At the graduate level, you can sometimes get an assistantship that pays your tuition and a salary to live on.

I saw the story early on the news, but they did not tell me what party he belonged to.
