Enroll the best global talent. Loans that help international students independently fund their education

Founded in 2007, Prodigy Finance is on a mission to make quality education accessible by providing education loans to top international graduate students.

Prodigy Finance broadens access to education for international students through study loans that don’t require a co-signer. Prodigy supports high-potential students by providing the funds they need to attend their top-choice programs.

Prodigy assesses students on their future earning potential. Eligible students are offered variable interest rate loans starting at 6.7% APR.* After graduation, students benefit from a 6-month grace period, and there are no penalties for early repayment.v

Educating your students starts with funding transparency. For this reason, many schools choose to share awareness of Prodigy Finance with their students during recruitment events, in admitted student communications, or on their website’s lender list.

Prodigy Finance is a resource you can share with your students that gives them the option to self-fund their program of choice rather than letting competing scholarships decide which program they attend.

Prodigy’s School Spotlight pages offer a chance to market your graduate programs to the growing number of international students visiting our website in search of education opportunities with funding options at no cost.

Prodigy Finance supports masters students across business, engineering, science, law, and public policy. The number and types of programs Prodigy supports is constantly growing as we gain access to new funding sources and address the global demand for job growth in specific sectors.

Talent who were previously unable to attend your school due to lack of funding access, now have the chance to self-fund their top-choice program at your school.

Making Prodigy Finance part of your enrollment strategy can increase your international reach and help you yield top students.
