What are no-collateral student loans?

Navigating the world of student loans can be a daunting task, especially for international students. One term that often comes up is “no-collateral loans.” But what exactly does this mean, and why is it important for international students?
No-collateral loans, also known as unsecured loans, don’t require an asset (like a house or car) to secure the loan. This is particularly relevant for international students who may not have assets in the country they’re studying in. Traditional banks often require collateral or a cosigner, which can be a significant barrier for international students. No-collateral loans remove this hurdle, making higher education more accessible.

How do no-collateral loans work for international students?

No-collateral loans offer several benefits for international students. First and foremost, they provide access to education financing without needing a cosigner or collateral. This is a huge benefit for many international students excluded from traditional financing options.
No-collateral education loans can be used to cover a range of expenses in the U.S. – from tuition and books, housing and food to international health insurance.

Finally, no-collateral loans can provide peace of mind. Without the threat of losing an asset, international students can focus on what matters – their studies and future careers.

MPOWER Financing approach to no-collateral loans

MPOWER Financing international education loans stand out due to the absence of a collateral requirement, which often presents a substantial financial burden on families. Instead, lending decisions at MPOWER are grounded on an individual’s potential and future prospects.

A typical customer at MPOWER borrows US$30,000 for their degree program.

During the loan application process, you’ll be asked to provide documentation of any funds your family contributes toward your education. This is a step to ensure that all financial resources are accounted for to meet the full cost of your degree and to prevent any financial shortfall after loan approval.

Why choose MPOWER?

Getting an MPOWER international student loan to study in the U.S. or Canada allows you to maintain a certain level of independence from your family – putting your education in your control.

MPOWER’s no-collateral loan feature ensures your relatives’ assets remain untouched even in the event of payment difficulties. In addition, your family can focus their financial priorities on siblings or retirement.
With collateral secured loans, if you run into financial difficulties and cannot pay your student loan for 90 days or more, the lender could seize the collateral your family pledged. By choosing an MPOWER no-collateral education loan, you can avoid all this – and keep your family’s assets free for other uses.

The MPOWER team supports students with its Path2Success program. This initiative encompasses complimentary résumé reviews and a 30-minute career consultation upon request for every borrower, alongside access to live and prerecorded webinars covering a spectrum of topics from employment and immigration to work authorization.
