Don’t let your outstanding study fees keep at you up at night

If you are struggling with outstanding study fees at your institution do not despair.  Students on average struggle with paying their study fees as well as entertaining their busy student lifestyles due to the fact that they usually have little or no income at all.

Although receiving those threatening SMS’s at the end of every week or month might cause feelings of fear and despair, don’t give up hope help might be easier to access than you think.

The best way to deal with debt is to be aware of the problem and to manage it so that you are in control.

Here are a few tips to help you gain control.

Don’t stress,
As the only education finance specialist in the country Eduloan wants to help you tie those loose ends.  All you need to do is, go on to our website: www.eduloan.co.za and fill out an application form.  You might also consider going to an Eduloan office situated conveniently for you on campus to find out what other choices you have in this regard.

Ignoring those letters wont make the problem go away
Your debt won’t just go away and if you choose to ignore the problem it will only get worse.  The best way to deal with debt is to deal with it head on, know how much you owe and correspond with those you owe informing them of your current situation. Keep copy of these emails and written letters.

Double your income
Most of the time your student loan / grant won’t cover all your expenses.  Apply for a waiter job or something that will secure another source of income.

Budgeting
Most of the time, working on a budget will entitle you to distribute your money accurately and help you not go without the essentials.

Advice is always welcome
Speak to our Eduloan client services agents right on campus for some sound advice.

Never give up!
Giving up will mean that your debt has gained control of you and your life and this will only make things worse for you and those around you.  Pay those that need paying or try your best at persuading them to accept the offer that you can make.

Celebrating 18 Years of Unlocking Potential



Since 1996, Eduloan has delivered financial solutions to South Africans looking to further their education, no matter the level of tuition. March 28, 2014 marks our 18th birthday, allowing us to celebrate the more than 720 000 study loans to the value of over R3.7 billion that we have awarded to South Africans looking to further their education.

 Eduloan remains the leading education finance specialist offering loan solutions to students – whether it is school, college, technicon or university. We understand the real cost of education and because of this we extend loans to students who require funds for textbooks, accommodation, study-related equipment as well as laptops or tablets.

Fund and bursary management has also evolved through the introduction of our Eduxtras solution. We pioneered the smartcard solution – geared to help students manage their bursary funds while the bursar has peace of mind that the funds are being allocated and spent as intended. Funds are loaded into pockets for accommodation, books, study-related equipment, food and tuition (or customised pockets depending on what your bursar specified) and can only be spent on the intended purpose.

In the past 18 years we have also assisted employers by providing accessible education finance to their staff. Eduloan has a long standing partnership with government and institutions which allows government employees easier access to obtaining a loan.  Similiarlee Eduloan has applied the same model to corporates for their employees.

Dedicated to providing educational finance and bursary fund administration solutions, we pride ourselves on being the only financial company solely focused education.

We commit to innovate more solutions to unlock even more potential in South Africa.


Happy birthday Eduloan!
