Securing a loan prior to applying for an i20 can greatly increase the likelihood of receiving a positive response from the university regarding admission. This is because demonstrating that the full amount of required funds is readily available can provide a sense of financial security to the university, making them more inclined to accept the application.

The i20 document is issued by American universities to students who have been accepted for admission.

Typically, this sum encompasses a combination of four distinct components over a span of approximately nine months. These components include tuition fees, living expenses, health insurance, and expenditures for dependents, among various other items.

There are two primary methods for showcasing the necessary funds: self-funding, where the student or a family member has the required amount in their bank account, or through an education loan, which can be evidenced by a sanction letter or proof of the amount disbursed.

Is it possible for me to qualify for a loan if the Co-Applicant has another loan in their name?

When should individuals consider availing an Education Loan?

The application for an Education Loan can be submitted or obtained at various stages during the preparation for studying abroad.

Prior to admission – Individuals have the opportunity to apply for an Education Loan. This loan can be obtained upon receiving the final admission letter from the university, as the approval of the loan is contingent upon the availability of funds.

The primary choice for students attending universities in the United States is to opt for a loan. This loan is typically used to obtain the I-20 form, with the loan amount covering tuition fees, living expenses, costs for dependents, health insurance, and any other expenses required by the university.

Prior to obtaining a Visa– Individuals have the option to apply for an Education Loan. This can be done subsequent to receiving the final admission letter, which serves as proof of funds required for the student visa application. The loan amount may differ depending on the country of study.

An example of this would be the requirement for a Student Visa for the United States, which necessitates that a student demonstrate funds that are 1.5 times greater than the amount indicated on their I-20 form.

Education loans can also be obtained to cover the expenses of upcoming semesters if a student has already funded their journey to the destination country but requires additional funds.

Education loan balance transfers are possible when a student has settled their university fees using their initial education loan. This service remains available even after the student has arrived in their destination country.

Why Choose an Unsecured Loan?

Opting to use a property in India as collateral for an education loan in order to secure a lower rate of interest may not be the most advantageous decision in the long term. This is especially true when considering the availability of unsecured loans, which can be obtained without the need for property as security. Depending on the student’s academic and financial background, unsecured loans of up to 50 Lakhs are a viable alternative to traditional secured loans.

An unsecured loan provides borrowers with the opportunity to secure up to 50 lakhs in funds, albeit with a slightly higher rate of interest ranging from 2% to 3% compared to secured loans. Despite this variance in interest rates, the impact on the overall cost over the loan term may not be significant. One of the key advantages of opting for an unsecured loan is the absence of the risk of losing any mortgaged property in the event of default on repayment.
