Spring 2027 applications are currently paused. Here's how funding timelines typically work, and what to do if your programme starts soon.
Spring 2027 applications are paused
Study-abroad conditions have shifted quickly over the last few weeks, including visa and policy changes across several destination countries. We aren't accepting Spring 2027 applications while we review what this means for our students and borrowers. Existing loans aren't affected.
We've paused Spring 2027 applications. If you're still planning for a January 2027 start, this guide covers how funding, matching, and document verification typically work, and why starting early makes such a difference.
Why timing matters more than most students realise
Prodigy Finance loans are funded by a community of investors and institutional partners, and how much funding is available, for which countries and schools, can shift from one intake to the next as market conditions and partner allocations change. That is simply how funding works, it is not unique to us, but it does mean that the earlier you get your eligibility confirmed and your application moving, the more options you are likely to have, rather than finding out later in the cycle that funding for your specific school has tightened.
What you get with a Prodigy Finance loan
No co-signer, no collateral*. We assess your future earning potential, based on your admission and programme, not your family's credit history or assets.
Borrow up to USD 220,000*, covering up to 100% of your cost of attendance, subject to your eligibility, funding, and credit assessment.
Funds sent directly to your school. Once you arrive on campus and sign your loan agreement, your funds go straight to your university, not to you personally.
A fully online process. From your eligibility check through to document verification, there is no branch visit and no physical paperwork queue.
Our loans carry a variable interest rate, made up of a base rate plus a margin, with APR starting from 12.06%* for eligible borrowers. The only upfront cost is a one-time USD 500 processing fee, paid once your funding is confirmed.
Working backwards from a January 2027 start
Spring intakes typically begin in January, and application deadlines for a Spring 2027 start generally fall between September and November 2026 for many universities, though this varies by institution, so confirm your own school's date directly. A realistic timeline looks like this:
Now: Shortlist your schools and confirm each one's application deadline and funding requirements.
Once you have your offer: Apply for funding and compare your options.
In the weeks after: Complete document verification and secure your funding ahead of your visa or study permit application, since most of those require proof of funds before approval.
On arrival: Sign your loan agreement digitally, and your funds are sent directly to your school in time for the term.
Starting this process months ahead, rather than in the final weeks before your intake, is what actually protects you from funding conditions changing, visa processing running long, or a document request catching you off guard.
What if my programme starts soon?
We can't offer Spring 2027 funding right now, so we recommend acting early. Check other lenders and scholarships and their deadlines. Ask your school's financial aid office about payment plans and school funding. Ask your admissions team about moving your start date.
