INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Education loans can augment the boundaries of what you can achieve

Education never ends – it is not said without reason. We are educated all our lives and

getting an education not only is a great achievement but something that gives you the

tools to find your own way in the world. Education is indispensable; little do we

realize how much more it can bring to us in terms of worldly amplifications. Anyone

can have propensity and the natural endowment for education. But one might not have

the resources to finance their education. You certainly can’t let lack of resources

impede you from advancing your prospects through education. Then you accidentally

stumble upon the word ‘education loans’. Loans for education – you have never

thought about it as a feasible arrangement. Education loans can open newer panoramas

in regard to your education aspirations.

Education loans are open to all people in all its myriad forms. Education loans can

realize your education plans or the education plans of your children. You can

strengthen you own future and the future of your son or daughter with education loans.

An extensive range of student and parent loans are presented under the category of

education loans. There are many types of education loans. Discerning about the types

of education loans will help you in making the accurate decision. The single largest

resource of education loans is federal loan. The two main federal education loan

programs are the Federal Family Education Loan Program and the Federal Direct

Loan Program. In the Federal Family Education Loan Program the bank, credit union

or the school is the lender. While the federal direct loans program, the department of

education is the lender.

Private education loans are offered to people so that they can provide financial backup

to their education plans. Private education loans are not endorsed by other government

agencies but are provided by other financial institutions. Private education loans

program are optimum for both undergraduate and graduate studies.

Formal education is requisite for future success. Though this is not a hard and fast

rule, but education certainly helps you in gaining an upper hand. With universities

getting expensive by each day an education loan will certainly give you an incentive

to go ahead with your education plans. Each year while contemplating on your

education plans the thought of finances almost invariably comes in. While working

towards you degree, you are constantly plagued about paying for the education fees,

books, and other living expenses. Education loans can provide funding for tuition fees,

board and room, books computer, and even student travel. An education loan can help

you with all these expenses. Education loans are sufficient enough to take care of all

these expenses. If you have been forced to drop your education for any reason, you

can still take up your education at any point of time. Irrespective of your age and also

where you have left your education.

There are no specific eligibility criteria for education loans. Any person who is in need

of sponsorship for education can find an education loan that befits his or her financial

necessity. Loan amount on education loans vary with the kind of education you want

to pursue. The repayment options with education loans will similarly accommodate

your personal financial preferences. You can either repay interest amount while still in

school or six months after graduation. Education loans offer up to ten years for

repayments. The refund alternatives on education loans also include deferment,

forbearance and consolidation. The various sites on education loans can give you

innumerable repayment options and monetary remuneration.

Education loans will help you in planning your life after graduation. However, an

education loan like every loan is a huge financial obligation. An education loans is

generally the first substantial loan for most people and therefore the first major

expense. Do not be completely dependent on your education loans for the funding of

your complete education. Try to apply for any other financial sustenance like

university grants, scholarships, fellowships, work study programs and assistance ship

and any other form of aid. This will certainly encourage a fluid dispensation of your

education loans. You can start by going to the financial aid office in your school or

university. It will provide you further insight to the kind of education loans, you must

apply for.

Education is an experience of life. It is so rewarding in itself that it helps you to

manage almost everything in your life. Education loans discipline your impulse

towards education and training into a fruitful contrivance. The payoff is delicious in

terms of improved quality of life. Education is expensive! Is it? With education loans

it can’t be. Now, you don’t have to take the road in front of you. Make your own road

with education loans.

RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDATIONS

Banks should go for advertisement Campaign from Scratch.

Banks should try to cash its brand image.

Strong branch network should be made and staff personnel’s incentives

should be increased.

Banks should increase its product line in education loans.

Special scheme for non-professional students as well as for professional

students should be increased.

Banks should introduce some new model keeping in mind the loan suitable

for medium income group customer.

Presence of some famous personality in Advertisement or in Pamphlet’s

insuring better retention in the mind of customers.

In this age of information, the customer before taking loans collects all the

information about various brands. The banks should provide a combined

booklet of the product range in order to upgrade the knowledge of future

takings of loans.
