Can I get an education loan sanction before receiving my I-20?

No. Premier NBFCs and private banks offer non-collateral loans up to ₹60–75 Lakhs for recognized US universities, evaluated based on the student's GRE score, academic record, and financial co-applicant's income.

Does the loan cover living expenses and health insurance in the USA?

Yes. Comprehensive education loans for the USA cover 100% of the cost of attendance listed on your I-20, including tuition fees, accommodation, food, compulsory university health insurance, books, laptop, and round-trip airfare.

Interest rates generally range from 8.5% to 10.5% for secured loans from public sector banks, and 10.0% to 12.5% for unsecured loans from private banks and NBFCs. Women applicants often receive an additional 0.5% interest concession.
