Hi there!

I just admitted by Kellogg in their One Year MBA program. I am really confused by the financial aid of Kellogg. How does it work? Is it like some type of instructions to guide you to apply loans?

I didn't have that many savings so I would definitely apply for the loan. I noticed that there are some loan programs without US co-signers I can apply to. Like Discover and NU Loan(With international co-signer). Which one would be a better option? And when should I apply? I haven't paid my deposit yet just to make sure I can borrow enough for my study.

I know there are lots of questions and I do appreciate the help... Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks for the reply. I heard Prodigy Finance has a high-interest rate. Which one do you think would be a better choice, Discover or Prodigy?

Hi cicao congratulations on your acceptance. The NU loan for internationals would be your best option followed by Discover custom loan program for Kellogg. The school would ask you to fill a financial aid application for NU loan eligibility (link must be in the Welcome Site) and you would know your offer most likely before or on the day of your deposit deadline.

It took me a bit to reply to your post but I am confident finances would not prevent you from attending school in anyway. Cheers and all the best!

Thank you very much for the reply! Very useful!

Basically, the financial aid will tell me which loan to apply for, and I should apply for the loan after getting the notification from the financial aid office. Is my understanding correct?

The financial aid team will tell you if you are eligible for the NU Loan. If that’s a negative (I haven’t heard this happening though) then you can apply for a Discover loan. I don’t have the webpage handy, but you can Google Kellogg loan programs and you will find a holistic list of loan resources. They would also tell you about this on Slack so I would recommend joining that and checking it actively.
