Study Loans is a new kind of finance for students seeking assistance in paying for their vocational and tertiary education. They are all about helping people advance in their careers to reach their full potential by providing the necessary funds to pay for their tuition fees during those criterial periods of education. They are Australia’s first dedicated private student loan company. Whether students are looking to save money on student loans, reach that next career goal or invest in their future, Study Loans works to help our customers reach their potential. Study Loans was born out of the frustration with the current government funded system. Having witnessed first-hand, the difficulty students faced with accessing funds and the constant changes in the rules, they felt it was about time a private business stepped in to provide an alternative. They believe education is critically important to society, but also the future prosperity of individuals. Study Loans was purposely created to provide a new way of paying for education with a transparent fee structure under a pay-as-you-go type model.
