I understand that finances play a key role when you are planning your education abroad. The budget is probably one of the first few things that factor in the final decision. The affordability of tuition fee and the living expense should not be the reason for the student to drop their dream and hamper their career.
While scholarships could be very helpful to keep this dream alive , most times it is not possible for each student to avail one for themselves. Thus, loans are the safest option which people rely on. And don’t be scared loans doesn’t have to be a burden. There is a wise approach that you can take.Â

Bank of Baroda - 9.85% P.A
SBI - 13.70% P.A
Federal Bank - 13.6% P.A

The interest rates and requirements for an education loan to study in the USA can vary significantly based on several factors including the lender, your credit history, and whether the loan is secured or unsecured. Generally, unsecured loans do not require collateral like property documents but come with higher interest rates—often between 8% and 12%. Secured loans, requiring collateral such as property, typically offer lower rates, around 6% to 8%.
Upon completion of your master's degree, repayment usually commences after a grace period that may extend up to a year, allowing you some time to find employment. It's crucial to understand whether your interest rate is fixed or variable. Fixed rates remain constant, providing predictability in your repayment amount, while variable rates can adjust depending on financial market trends, potentially leading to higher payments. Before finalizing the loan, ensure you evaluate the terms thoroughly to align with your financial planning post-graduation.
