International Student Loans are Still Available
We know that everything’s different
this academic year, but one thing that hasn’t
changed is the fact that studying abroad can be
expensive.
If you’re looking over your budget for the next
semester, and think you’ll need some additional
funding to cover extra costs, don’t worry - you can
search and apply for an international student loan
even now as the semester starts - you don’t need to
worry about a missed deadline.
