Before speaking with a lender
Have the useful details ready.
These details help you explain what you need and ask specific questions. They do not determine eligibility.
- The course, institution and expected study timeline
- A breakdown of study-related costs and the amount you can fund yourself
- Questions about repayment timing, co-applicants and information required by a lender
Choices to compare
See what can change the cost.
Complete study budget or tuition alone
Separate tuition from other study-related expenses so the requested amount has a clear basis.
Repayment timing
Ask how repayment begins and how interest is treated during the study period under the assessed terms.
Try this. Prepare a cost list by tuition and other study expenses, then mark which amounts are already covered.
