Do you have students loan in your country?

[Fidelia]

Some countries have student loan schemes in their countries which help the people that can't pay college tuition to get assistance to pay.

Do you have students loans in your country? Did you access it? What were the conditions to payback the students loan?

Yes, my country has, but nothing compared to the USA universities (less than you study medicine in a private university), where a degree averagely costs 300K dollars. So a student loan for an Arts degree (like mine, that was an Arts Languages degree) may amount around 10K (local currency, about 2000 dollars). But I didn't ask for any loan, as I could completely finance my degree, at that price. So I'm not very aware of the conditions to repay the loan. In any way, in my country and its neighbor Argentina, it's to consider also the possibility to study for free in a public university, if you are in conditions to attend one.

We have students loan in my country. You have to start paying back the loan two years after graduation.

Yes, there are student loans in my country but they are not so popular since most of the studies are funded by the state in my country.

It's a common situation among European countries. In my former country there are student loans too, but their access is so cumbersome and very bureaucratic that a lot of youngsters end up quitting the idea to attend university.

What is even the essence of creating a social program when they would use bureaucracy to kill it? Anyways, I am sure I won't need a student's loan for any reason.

In my city, if the student cannot afford to pay for the university tuition fee, s(he) can apply for government grant and/or interest free loan. The student can start repaying the loan after graduation and get a job.

Student loans has just been approved in my country. It comes with a free $12 monthly upkeep for the student that takes the loan.

Student loan has been approved here in Nigeria, though I have never taken one myself so I don't really know the whole process.

I am not eligible for student loans but it is already being disbursed in Nigeria and it started this year.
