More Brazilian students are studying in the USA this year due to the strategic partnership between Brazil and the USA. In 2014, there were 886,052 international students studying in the USA, of those 13,286 were from Brazil. This is a jump of 22.2% over last year. As more Brazilian students study in the US, they will need to be aware of the cost of a US education, and plan accordingly.
A good portion of Brazilian students are part of the Brazil Scientific Mobility Undergraduate scholarship program which provides students with financial assistance primarily in the STEM fields.

These students turn to scholarships, grants and fellowship, but may find that they still need more money to pay their bills. International students loans have helped Brazilian students borrow money to fund up to the total cost of their education with no collateral requirement and flexible terms.
