I need student loans for students studying internationally. What are some good ones?
I'm applying to grad school in London. I've heard that I need to apply to FAFSA to get any sort of loan from private institutions as well? I've done some research and it appears that some loans are only good for studying in the United States and that there are specifc loans for students who are going abroad. Is this generally the rule? Also, are there international loans through FAFSA? I MUST get this figured out so that I can get my student visa! Please help! 
Thanks!

Here's FinAid.org's list of loans for international students:

And here's their list of scholarships:

Your best bet for a study abroad loan might be the ISLP loan: http://www.internationalstudentloan.com/us_citizens/index.html
It's not entirely true that you need to file the FAFSA to gat aid from *any* private financial instutition. There are two reasons why a private loan company might ask for this: (1) many lenders want to see that you exhausted all your options for low-interest Federal Student Aid before they lend you any private aid or (2) many private scholarship [and some loan] companies want to know what your financial need is and since the FAFSA is the only ubiquitous, official way to determine this, they sometimes require the results.
