Student loans
The University of Plymouth is currently being re-certified by the US Department of Education as a foreign school. Once the foreign school code is in place students will be able to apply for Private Student Loans through Sallie Mae International. We strongly encourage accepted applicants to seek out both loan and grant funding as soon as possible - financial aid can often be a lengthy process.
