How our loans work
Prodigy Finance broadens access to education for international students through study loans that don't require co-signers, collateral, or a credit history. We support high-potential students by providing the funds they need to attend their top-choice programs.
Many students who can’t pursue their studies due to a lack of funding such as savings or scholarships can get a loan from Prodigy Finance. Our loans are a practical option for students to independently pay for their education.
Prodigy Finance assesses students on their future earning potential. Eligible students are offered variable interest rate loans and after graduation, students benefit from a 6-month grace period with no penalties for early repayment.
Scholarship programme
At Prodigy Finance, our mission is to remove funding barriers to make education accessible for all. Over the years, we’ve supported over 40,000 students globally with our loans and awarded USD 500,000 in scholarships through our esteemed partners.
How we fit in your toolbox
Educating your students starts with funding transparency. For this reason, many schools we support choose to share awareness of Prodigy Finance with their students during recruitment events, in admitted student communications, or on their website’s lender list.
Prodigy Finance is a resource you can share with your students that gives them the option to self-fund their program of choice rather than letting competing scholarships decide which program they attend.

What others are saying:
“Since working with Prodigy Finance, we have been able to increase our yield from geographies in which applicants might previously have struggled to finance their MBA or masters studies. Prior to Prodigy, we often had great candidates who were willing to make the investment in their future and who could have been very successful, but they simply did not have the ability to fund their tuition and living expenses at the time...”
Nick Barniville, Associate Dean, Degree Programs and Director, EdTech Lab, ESMT Berlin
“Prodigy Finance has in fact opened up doors to many of our students here at Stevens Institute of Technology. The process to apply for graduate loans is easy, secure and in great demand.
