Will I need to take a loan to fund my studies abroad?
It depends on your personal financial situation. Many Indian students take education loans to cover expenses like tuition, living costs, and travel, but a loan is only necessary if your savings, family support, and scholarships don't fully cover your costs.
- Review your savings and family support.
- Explore scholarships and grants for your chosen country.
- Consider a mix of personal funds, family help, and scholarships to reduce loan needs.
Education loans from Indian banks can cover up to 100% of study expenses, with repayment starting after graduation. Compare lenders for the best terms.
If you need help planning your finances or exploring loan options, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
