Eligibility
To apply for an education loan, you (or your parent/guardian) must meet our standard lending criteria: be a South African citizen or permanent resident aged 18 or older, with a regular income and a satisfactory credit record. Proof of registration or acceptance at an accredited institution may be required.
Making Education Affordable
Before taking a loan, explore all available options: NSFAS bursaries, employer study assistance, tax deductions for study costs related to your employment, and scholarships. An education loan can fill the gap where these options fall short. Remember, the qualifications and skills you gain can significantly increase your earning potential, making the investment worthwhile.
Plan Your Education Budget
Calculate the full cost of your studies, including tuition, registration fees, materials, transport, and living costs if applicable. Borrow only what you need and plan your repayment carefully. Consider whether you can start repaying while studying (even a small amount) to reduce the total cost of the loan.
