Education loans
Getting the financing right
Most students fund part of their studies through an education loan. Banks and NBFCs each have their own rules on collateral, co-applicant income and which universities they will lend against — and the embassy has its own rules about how that loan must appear in your file.
- Choosing between secured and unsecured loan options
- Preparing income, collateral and co-applicant documentation
- Getting the sanction letter in a format embassies accept
- Timing disbursement against tuition and blocked account deadlines
- Understanding moratorium periods and repayment structure
Applying for scholarships — what helps
- Apply nine to twelve months ahead — most deadlines close well before the intake.
- A specific, well-argued motivation letter matters more than a high test score.
- Approach recommenders early and give them your CV and goals.
- Apply to several awards; single applications rarely succeed.
- Check whether the scholarship needs a prior admission offer.
