Facebook Live: Ayan’s International Student Loan Journey

Posted on February 26th, 2020 by Connor Blay

In order to start your journey as an international student, you will first need to make sure you have adequate funding. There is a large amount of funding available to international students like grants and scholarship opportunities, but more often than not, these will not cover the full cost of tuition & fees. Because of this, students often rely on loans to help fund their studies abroad. We know that it’s difficult to even know where to start when it comes to finding the right loans for you. That’s why we’ll be live on Facebook with a past international student and our current loan partner MPOWER Financing chatting about the international student loan journey and answering your questions.

MPOWER works with select schools in both the US and Canada ensuring that international students can receive loans without a cosigner. MPOWER is doing more than just their part when it comes to international student needs. In addition to being the top lender for international students, MPOWER goes above and beyond, providing benefits like scholarships, free career help, job and internship opportunities, and free visa support letters to approved borrowers.

Good afternoon;

im Kimberly Sencial, a 20 yeard old lady living in Peru after having left Venezuela two years ago due to the political and other challenging problems facing my country.

My mom works in the medical field as a Dentist, I have a passion for helping others as i have seen what it is like to be in need of help, so thats why I’m applying for the AS nursing program, Id like you to guide me to look out for scholarships which i may be appliable for, I know there are several options but I’ll be glad with your guidance through this process.

This is a big step for me to take in my life and I’m grateful for you to help in helping make my plans a reality.

Best regards;
Kimberly
