If your parents are working abroad and cannot be your education loan co-applicants, you can consider other family members such as siblings, grandparents, or uncles and aunts, as long as they have a stable income and good credit history. Legal guardians or close family friends with steady self-employed income may also qualify. Some international lenders offer loans to Indian students without a co-applicant, and secured loans against property or fixed deposits can remove the need for a co-applicant altogether. You can also look into government-backed schemes with flexible requirements. For guidance tailored to your situation, your LeapScholar counsellor can help you explore the best options.
