Where can I get a loan to cover the costs of getting through veterinary medicine at University.?

Answer 1

Have you tried scholarships? In high school, you can get offered scholarships. If not, maybe your government or the government of the place you're coming to study at will let you get a loan.

Answer 2

If you're in the UK, try Student Finance Direct. You don't need to repay them until you're employed and earning a certain amount and you don't pay interest on the loan, only inflation.

Their website is: http://www.studentsupportdirect.co.uk

Everyone I know has 2 loans from them. The first is to cover your tuition fees (they pay the university directly), then the second is a maintenance loan to pay for food, rent etc.

Unfortunately, the amount you get for your maintenance loan depends on things like parents' income and where you're studying. You'll probably find that it doesn't cover your living costs, mine certainly doesn't.

There are other loans and some grants available, but I don't know anyone who's met the conditions to get any of them.

So you'll probably need a student bank account on top of that because the terms of the overdrafts are specially designed for students. Combining that with the loans you might get by, otherwise you'd have to get a job, although from what I've heard, working as well as doing a vet course might be too hard.

There are some companies that offer scholarships to students, and the university you're going to should be able to give you information about scholarships that they offer.

Once you've found out about the loans, you should have a better idea of what sort of position you'll be in financially when you're at uni. Then you could go along to a few banks and talk to the people there about the accounts they have and which would be best. It's definitely worth trying quite a few places to make sure you get a deal that suits you.

If you're not in the UK, then I don't really know how you would do it, presumably each country has a different system. Good luck with your finances and your course!
