STUDENT LOANS
Many of our students use a Private Education Loan to cover both tuition and living expenses. -You must be 18 or older and have established good credit OR have a co-signer.* If you have credit problems then you will need a co-signer; if you have good credit a co-signer will help you get a better interest rate.
GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS
NYFA will help process any grants or scholarships a student might find. It's not easy to find sources to fund arts education and you should expect to spend a lot of time searching (www.finaid.org reports that only 7% of U.S. students have a grant or scholarship, and that these typically total $2000 or less). Many students start the search here: www.fastweb.com. There are also some helpful books out there: Kaplan Scholarships, Peterson's Scholarships, Grants and Prizes and The Scholarship Book. These are available at most libraries and bookstores.SCHOLARSHIP FOR INTERNATIONAL

SOME ADDITIONAL SOURCES FOR
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
UK Professional and Career Development Loans are commercial bank loans that can be used to help pay for work related learning. You can borrow between £300 and £10,000 to help support the cost of up to two years of learning (or three years if it includes one year's relevant unpaid practical work). The Government will pay the interest on the loan while you are learning and for one month afterwards. You will then need to start repaying the loan as you would any other commercial loans product. The loan can be used to pay course fees or other costs such as travel and living expenses. You can also use the loan to supplement other forms of support such as grants or bursaries.
As the Professional and Career Development Loan is a commercial loan product, you should make sure you have investigated all the funding options that may be open to you to ensure you take an informed decision about whether the Loan is right for you. For further information on financial assistance to support your learning, visit www.gov.uk/career-development-loans or contact Next Step on 0800 100 900.
