What is a study loan and how does a study loan work?

A study loan is a type of personal loan designed to help students pay for school-related fees such as tuition, school supplies and living expenses. Its sole purpose is to fund your education costs, thus taking the strain off your finances so you can focus on your studies. We understand that pursuing a higher education can unlock doors to rewarding and lucrative careers; but diploma and college fees are getting increasingly costly. Local universities have increased tuition fees by a whopping 38% since 2007. For those looking to pursue part-time courses to upskill or obtain a second degree or diploma to widen their field of study, it could also be an added financial burden especially if you have dependents and other commitments to take care of. Instead of draining your bank account to pay for your studies or picking up a part-time job which can be very taxing, a university study loan in Singapore can help you ease your financial burden so you have some cash on hand for emergencies and other commitments. You can also take a Singapore education loan for overseas studies, but do note that overseas studies are more expensive, and can cost $50,000 a year onwards.

Can’t qualify for other loans? Goldstar Credit is here for you

There are many ways to get a study loan in Singapore. A common one is MOE’s tuition fee loan program. The ministry conducts the program through banks like DBS and OCBC. However, these programs are often subject to strict approval. Though there are no minimum income and age requirements, applicants will need to have guarantors for these study loans. These guarantors must be between 21 and 60 years old and have a good credit history. If you don’t meet the requirements for an MOE tuition fee loan program or are considering a bank loan, do take note that the terms are different. Both options accrue an average interest of 5.10% to 5.25% a year. You should also find out if the loans cover miscellaneous expenses such as textbooks, supplies and other recurring costs. Taking out a traditional government or bank loan may be daunting with so many application procedures and approvals might be on a case-by-case basis. If your chosen course of study and school don’t qualify for a government loan, or if you only require a small amount of $1,000 for a vocational course but don’t meet the minimum loanable amount from banks, Goldstar Credit’s flexible loan and repayment scheme would come in handy. Get a study loan of up to $50,000. Apply with Goldstar now.

How to repay your study loans?

The repayment period depends on the financial institution you are taking a loan from. Most banks allow you to start repaying your study loans once you have completed your course of study, without accumulating interest until you have graduated. Some might even offer interest-free loans. With banks, the repayment period is generally up to 5 years interest-free loans and up to 20 years for interest-bearing loans. However, they often have strict requirements of the applicant’s credit history. If your bank loan is not approved, you can apply for a study loan with licensed money lenders like Goldstar Credit. Our loan repayment period is up to 12 months, and we can customise the loan terms according to your financial needs. You can make monthly instalment payments either by cash or bank transfer.
