Studying abroad comes with a promise of a better future and new life experiences. It doesn't matter where you come from and where you have studied before, studying abroad allows you to start your life from a new perspective. But these opportunities and a new life don't come easy. There are so many important decisions and arrangements you have to make to be able to study abroad.
Other than shortlisting countries and the best universities to study abroad, students also have to arrange for the tuition fees and living expenses. Most international students go for a student loan to pursue their higher education abroad. As per reports, 65% of the total International students studying in the US have taken some other kind of education loan. Let's look at some of the best sources of financial aid for students who want to study abroad.
Private banks allow students to study abroad by taking education loans at a decided interest rate. The interest may vary from bank to bank. It can go from 9% per annum to 13% per annum and even more. Many banks give education loans to students without collateral whereas others require you to submit some collateral in the form of immovable property. Every country has different criteria when it comes to giving education loans. Also, all private banks have their own set of rules that are followed.
Public banks of a country typically charge lower interest rates than private banks. The only drawback of taking a loan from a public bank can be the mandatory collateral requirement above a certain limit of the loan. Taking an education loan from a private bank is a great option if you have collateral since it is more secure and the interest rate is also usually lower than private banks. The interest rate for public banks can be somewhere between 8% to 10% per annum.
Other than public and private banks, money lending institutions can also offer you education loan services. Many private trusts offer scholarships in the form of education loans to students that are offered at minimum interest rates. Some of these charitable institutions include the Mariwala Trust, R.D. Sethna Scholarship Fund and Sahu Jain Trust.

Let's look at the necessary documents that you need to be able to study abroad.

Submitting your academic documents, university acceptance letters, and standard test mark sheets is also very important. If you have scored well in your tests then the chances of getting an education loan are always higher. Getting admission to a top-ranked university also increases the chances of getting your education loan sanctioned smoothly.
You will be required to submit the bank statement of the last six months of your co-applicant.
In case you're getting an education loan that requires you to submit collateral, you will need to arrange for the following documents.
You will need to submit your passport and passport-size photographs along with the bank loan application form.
