Hi
I am planning to apply to MS Finance program in US (priority), Canada, UK or Australia (Not being able to decide basically). Since I come from a lower middle class background, I won't be able to pay tuitions. (I may be able to manage $15-20k through loan, though very hard for me, for universities like Ohio Fisher or Owen). Hence, I am looking for programs that provide scholarships, graduate assistantships and/or any other sources of funding, and for the ways to get them. So, please kindly provide me with some advice on how should I proceed my research? Please recommend any programs that you know suitable according to my scenario. (I have got 650 on GMAT, 3 years of work experience in Sales and Operations roles in Nepal and 3.7 GPA out of 4.) Thank you.
Hey Mck2023,
We know how hard it can be to arrange for tuition fees.
Many of our clients come from a low-income background, but that doesn’t affect their chances of studying abroad.
As schools rarely provide full funding but, there are many options available for students to sponsor their studies abroad like:
Student loansNowadays, banks give loans to students with minimum interest and which not only includes your tuition fees but your other needs as well (like accommodation)
You can either go for traditional bank loans where you go to a bank for loans or go to organisations like Incred and
Prodigy Finance for student loans
FreelancingIf you have skills like designing, editing, photography, accounting etc, there are plenty of jobs available for you where you can freelance

-Fiverr.
