Education Loan

 

For many aspiring students earning a degree from reputed academic institutions and Universities must have adequate funds to invest in their tuition and admission fees. It is not possible to afford the cost quickly because the cost of education for Parents and also for the self-employed is hefty so they decide to pay in installments rather than down payment for the on-going admission.

Education has a crucial role not only for the students but also for its facilitators to provide guaranteed satisfaction of the concerned groups and have standards in their performance and results. For this they have made tie up with financial companies and banks that are also equally keen on making education affordable and accessible to most by giving service of education loans to Nepali citizens. Last decades many youths were seen migrating to foreign lands from Nepal for their study. United Kingdom, U.S.A, Australia are the major destinations of Nepalese students. Their education is also tied up with cost of living and studying as a result Nepali banks are providing this service by funding in their education to support the students. In Australia, cost of living, migration are expensive still many hadn’t obtained education loans to fund their education. Education loans require collateral, complex documentation procedures, high interest rate which made students less interested in taking the education loans. Banks have made education loan less hassle free and provided competitive schemes for proving education loans for Nepalese supporting the cause for education.
