It is possible to apply for an education loan above the standard limit, but you must clearly justify the higher amount and provide extra documentation.

- Calculate your total expenses: Include tuition, accommodation, travel, and related costs.
- Select a lender: Some banks may consider higher loan amounts based on your course and institution, but approval is case-specific and subject to change.
- Prepare supporting documents: You’ll need a detailed expenses breakdown, proof of admission, income proof of your co-applicant, and documents showing your financial need.

The lender will review your request carefully, and approval for higher amounts is not guaranteed. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
