Studying abroad masters loan - urgent help needed

davidbennett1819

Hi all,


I'm on a two year Masters degree programme with the Erasmus Mundus scheme. A company called Future Finance - who were (and still are) endorsed by the British Council and in partnership with Erasmus+ had offered me loand to cover part of my course costs - the loans were going to be in 2 parts.


Unfortunately, they've now withdrawn from the Erasmus scheme, and will no longer be offering me the second part of the loan.



Because the program is abroad I don't qualify for a government masters loan, and because the course has already started many other options have turned me down as well.



I've applied for every scholarship I can think of and searched for alternative loans, but have come up empty so far.



Does anyone know of any other loans or schemes that might help?

Any family who can help whether savings or take out a loan for you.


Don't know of any other avenues ?


If you say how much your after it might help.


Have you spoken to Erasmus Mundus what the alternatives are eg are FF being replaced by an alternative ?


Surely there's others in a similar/same position as you, surely they can't just leave you with no finance.

I could scrape by with 5000 euros, ish. My family has no savings, and very limited income so I don't want to ask them.



I've contacted Erasmus+ in the UK, who have been absolutely no help whatsoever. FF aren't being replaced, apparently.



Basically yeah. No finance incoming.

Just a thought but where your studying do they have a fund for students to access ?
