“Education is the key to unlock the world. It is the passport to freedom.” - Oprah Winfrey

You must have read all about the pros of studying abroad, but let’s get practical and understand the process in depth. To begin with, the tuition fee for an overseas student is comparatively higher than that of a domestic student, but it’s completely worth it! You’ll have to spend extra for accommodation and other living expenses too. Don’t worry! This isn’t to scare you, but introduce the role of education loans in your journey to make it hassle-free! Don’t let your bank account hold you back from crossing oceans. Dive into your study abroad dreams with a loan!
Types of Education Loans for Students Applying Overseas
Indian students can opt for two types of loans based on feasibility, income and credit history.
Secured Loan A secured loan would require you to pledge collateral (assets, liquid securities) as a guarantee against the education loan. You can apply for a secured loan from the comfort of your home. Due to the collateral, the interest rates of this type are low and has flexible repayment terms.
Unsecured Loan An unsecured loan eliminates the requirement of collaterals and instead relies on the borrower’s creditworthiness and the student’s employability potential. The interest rates of this type are high as compared to a secured loan and have a shorter repayment tenure.
