Education Loans

Eligibility criteria may vary depending on the type of student loan and the financial institution offering it. In general, applicants should:

• Be a Singapore Citizen, Permanent Resident, or eligible international student
• Have been accepted into a course at a registered Private Education Institution (PEI) in Singapore, with an official offer or acceptance letter
• Meet the age and income requirements set by the lending bank or provider
• Not be receiving full sponsorship for tuition fees from any organisation
• Provide a guarantor, if required by the specific loan scheme

Some student loan applications require one guarantor, depending on the loan type and the applicant’s profile (e.g. age, residency, or student status). Where required, the guarantor must:

• Be aged between 21 and 60 years at the time of application
• Be an immediate family member of the applicant
• Meet nationality requirements based on the applicant’s residency status
• Fulfil the minimum income requirements set by the respective financial institution

For international students, all bank loan applications require a guarantor who must be a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident (PR).
