Invest In Your Education

Studying abroad is a significant investment and figuring out how to fund it shouldn't feel draining. At Shuri, we help you explore viable funding pathways, study loan options tailored to your academic profile and study plan.

Shuri Education will first assess your profile and guide you through the most appropriate pathway. This ensures that your funding option aligns with your academic goals, application strategy, and financial readiness.

This service is designed for international students who:

  • Are planning to study STEM or eligible postgraduate programmes
  • Need additional support for tuition costs
  • Want help identifying eligible universities
  • Prefer guided support throughout the process
  • Are exploring structured education loan options

You do not need to have secured admission before being assessed. Shuri Education can support you with programme selection and applications where appropriate.

Funding Pathways We Assess

Not everyone qualifies the same way, and that's okay. Here's how we sort out where you fit.

Structured Financing Option

Open toAll nationalities
  • Applicants for undergraduate diploma must be 26 years or below at the time of the application.
  • Applicants for graduate diploma/certificate programs must be 33 years or below at the time of application.
  • Applicants must have relevant professional experience.
  • Applicants must demonstrate the ability to pay a 35 percent cash deposit of the entire loan amount after loan approval.

Self-Funding Options

Students who do not qualify for the structured financing option are assessed for the self-funding options. We work with you to explore realistic self-funding strategies. This may include personal savings, family support, and installment payment.

Our Approach

We do not refer students to financing options without first reviewing their profile. Before pointing you towards this service, we assess whether a loan is suitable for your overall study and visa strategy. Our focus is on ensuring that any funding option you pursue is clearly structured and can form part of a strong overall application.

Education loan financing is not suitable for every applicant. We will advise you honestly if a sponsor, scholarship or hybrid funding approach would be a stronger option for your case. Our role is to make sure you make the right decision for your journey.

Check Your Loan Eligibility

Four short steps, about two minutes. We'll review your profile and reach out to discuss your options.

Step 1 of 4: About you. Your details, as they appear on your passport.
