We provide all the basic information that you need regarding the types of loans that you might apply for. The university offers you to apply for both subsidised and unsubsidised loans.
The Parent Plus Loans are provided only if the recipient is a dependent child of his/her parents. This category of loan is never subsidised and the parents will have to bear the complete burden of interest.
Many consumer loans are also made available to you. However, the university does not recommend you to apply for third party loans. All student loans must be applied only in special circumstances of financial need.
