Do Rowe Fund loan beneficiaries have to return to their countries of origin? When do they have to return?
Yes, after completing the study or training program for which the loan was granted, the student must return to his/her country of origin within one year of his /her graduation date as stipulated in his/her loan agreement. During this time, loan beneficiaries may choose to make use of their optional practical training (OPT) year in the United States, as allowed by the US immigration authorities, before returning to either his/her country of origin or any other Latin American or Caribbean country.
