MBA Programs in the US that Have Financing Options without a US Co-signer
If you are an international applicant and do not have a person who could co-sign for you. Here are the options for financing and borrowing for your MBA without a co-signer. It used to be very hard to borrow if you were an international applicant, and many top 20 programs provided their own financing and deal options for their applicants. Then Prodigy and MPOWER came around and made borrowing much easier and the competition also drove the interest rates down.
Kindly add any other schools you need to the list, I have only used data on the prestigious universities Kindly add names in the thread so that I can add those as well.

Hello there,
Here's some valuable information that might help. You can get an education loan for your MBA studies without needing a financial co-signer in two specific cases. These opportunities provide a pathway for pursuing your education goals independently.
#Option 1: Secured education loan via public sector banks
#Option 2: Education loan via International Lenders
Let’s discuss these options individually.
Option 1
Getting a secured education loan, as the name suggests is an education loan that you can get against a collateral. Once you pledge collateral then you will not need a financial co-signer. Some prominent banks can help you in the same namely SBI and UBI.
Please Note - For both the cases above, collateral will be required.
Option 2
The second option and preferred option in your case is getting an education loan from international lenders like MPOWER and Prodigy. Let’s learn about them one by one.
When applying for an education loan, timing becomes a critical factor. If you apply to one lender and, in a worst-case scenario, face rejection, you may not have sufficient time to apply to another. This is where GyanDhan comes in. We analyze your profile with the help of our education loan experts and apply to lenders that best fit your requirements, increasing your chances of approval. Additionally, we ensure to have a backup option in place in case things do not go as planned. So, what do you need to do? Simply check your eligibility with us and leave the rest to our experts.

Option 1
Getting a secured education loan, as the name suggests is an education loan that you can get against a collateral. Once you pledge collateral then you will not need a financial co-signer. Some prominent banks can help you in the same namely SBI and UBI.
- 1. SBI - they can provide you with up to 1.5 Cr INR loan with an interest rate starting at 11.15%. The processing fee for the same is 11,800 INR including GST.
2. UBI - they can also provide you with an education loan with up to 1.5 Cr INR with an interest rate starting at 10%. They charge a processing fee of 5,000 INR which is refundable in case you take disbursement within 3 months of loan approval.
Please Note - For both the cases above, collateral will be required.
Option 2
The second option and preferred option in your case is getting an education loan from international lenders like MPOWER and Prodigy. Let’s learn about them one by one.
- 1. MPOWER Financing - they will provide you with a loan of up to 100,000 USD at a fixed interest rate of 13.99% depending on whether your targeted institute is in the approved list of theirs or not. They have an interest rate incentive of 0.25% in case you sign up for autopay. MPOWER can be a good option as they specialize in providing loan for students planning to study in USA or Canada.
2. Prodigy Finance - it can also cover 100% of your cost to study based on the university/college you choose. Prodigy has an approved list of institutes and courses for which they provide education loan. This may lead to a variation in the loan amount being approved by the lender. The interest rate for it starts at 12%.
