How Do International Student Loans Work?
This study abroad student loan is designed to support tuition costs, making it easier for students to finance their education.
What Does the Loan Cover?
- ✅ Tuition Fees – The loan may cover full or partial tuition fees, depending on eligibility and approval. If the loan does not cover 100% of tuition, students must secure additional funding to meet visa requirements.
- ❌ Living Expenses Are Not Covered – Students must independently fund their accommodation, food, and personal expenses.
- ✅ Flexible Repayment – Repayment terms vary, and students can choose a plan that suits their financial situation.
- ✅ No Co-Signer or Collateral Required – The loan is based on future earning potential, not current financial status.
How Can the Loan Confirmation Letter Help You Secure a Visa?
Loan approval is not guaranteed. However, if approved, the financial provider will issue a loan confirmation letter, which serves as proof that tuition fees are covered.
✔ For Tuition Fees: If the loan covers full tuition, it can be presented as financial evidence to UKVI. If only part of the tuition is covered, students must provide proof of additional funding.
✔ For Living Expenses: Since the loan does not cover living costs, students must provide separate financial proof to meet visa requirements.
🔹 However, receiving this letter does not guarantee that your visa application will be successful.
