Loans for international students will vary in terms of their application process and your eligibility.
The Fees and Funding team can answer queries about tuition fee payment methods, instalment plans, as well as SOAS administered bursaries and scholarships. They also administer US Federal Loans at SOAS and can help if you need forms to be completed by the School for your international loan provider.
US loans
SOAS participates in the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (Direct Loans). Learn more about the loan and application process. You may also be able to take out a loan from a private provider such as Sallie Mae.
Veterans Affairs Funding and the Post 911 GI Bill
US Veterans attending SOAS can utilise their funds from the Department of Veterans Affairs for on campus degrees only but it is very limited. Course approval requests can take some time. Without program approval, you will need to consider if you wish to start your program without your benefits in place and with no guarantee that the program will be approved by the VA.
- Our Veterans Affairs - Facility Code is 11-80001-74
