Wilkinson Loan Fund

This is for international undergraduate and graduate students with F1 visas.

Under the PEF umbrella is a perpetual student loan fund established by Ernest Wilkinson. It works similarly to the Perpetual Education Fund, except that the recipient is a foreign student being educated in the United States. Seventy to eighty students can be helped each year through this loan.

Students must plan to return to their country after completing their education. Loans are for up to $10,000 for tuition, fees and books only, for two years of education.
