Capitec Bank offers students the opportunity to further their studies with the help of the Credit-For-Education student loan. However, only a select set of tertiary institutions offer this loan option.
With Capitec bank’s Credit-For-Education student loan, students are provided with the chance to further pursue their studies. Unlike other student loans, this loan option is specifically for students who hope to apply to a set list of tertiary institutions that have partnered with Capitec to make this loan available.
Students are allowed to take out a loan of no more than R250 000. The loan is provided with a discounted interest rate and operates over an extended term.
Applicants will need to ensure that they meet the basic requirements before applying for the loan. Here are the student loan requirements:
- Be a South African citizen.
- Applicant should be 18 years or older.
- Should be studying at or applying to study at one of the institutions Capitec has partnered with.
Each institution has its own application process. However, each institution provides the student with an estimation of their loan as a way to determine whether the student qualifies for application.
