Hi. I have also applied for a loan from Prodigy for Netherlands. Their website says they are open for loan applications for Fall 2021. Anyone else who has applied for the Netherlands market?

I have applied for the Netherlands, albeit for the business master's program. I received a conditional approval at first, and then my documents were verified, and now I am waitlisted for matching of funds. I am an international student from Indian market. Anyone else on the same boat?

Hi. I applied for a loan for Europe at prodigy and they have declined it. I got an automated response that the loan cannot be granted. I am not sure what the criteria was? Is anyone in this situation?
Same situation here. Which country do you apply from? I applied as Canadian. Not sure which country they offer loan this year. Not clear on their response.

Actually they have posted which regions they aren't lending to this year. It's in the FAQs.

Basically, the list contains markets which are advanced economies, or sanctioned countries, or in some cases least developed economies.

I haven't submitted any loan applications but when I go through the first few steps on Prodigy, it does seem like I am "eligible" and can proceed with an application.

Is the issue only later on when your eventual application is denied?

No, if you are eligible then that's good news.

Hello! I received the admission letter from HHL. I am from Brazil and asked for the Prodigy loan.
Guys, do you think that I have a chance to getting the loan?

Tks!

Hi! Unfortunately, I didn't. I tried another time, asking for a lower loan, and had an automatic declined answer.

The complicated part is that for Brazilians in Germany, there aren't other options. If anyone here has some indication of loan providers, I will gladly accept it.

Thank you for your reply.
Looks like Prodigy have been giving a lot of rejections lately in comparison to say 3 years ago, maybe cause of low funds or they have preferred schools

Yes! I see it. Interesting enough, India is not excluded... that’s good for India I guess?

Does MPower offer the option of early repayment in order to save on interest? I guess that option is available with prodigy Finance?
