• cover the full cost of training;
• partially compensate the student's expenses;
• be paid in stages for each semester or at once with the whole amount for the course for which the applicant enrolled.

From December 1, 2018, you can receive a subsidy from the state for an educational loan. At the same time, the benefit will be 2/3 of the Central Bank's refinancing rate. That is, the student gets a loan at a reduced rate. And he will have to pay for it only after training. How to get such a loan, to whom it can be given and how it works - in this article.

What is an educational loan and how it differs from other loans

In fact, a loan for education is an ordinary consumer loan. But it has several specific conditions.

• First of all, it is targeted. Issued to a future student for education at a paid university;
• The student does not receive money in hand. They are transferred directly to the account of the university, subject to a number of conditions;
• One of the most important conditions to obtain is a successful study. Information about the grades for the session goes to the bank at the end of each semester and, if the conditions of academic progress are met, the next payment is made. If not, the student is expelled or pays independently;
• You do not need to pay basic interest and the "body" of the loan during your studies. All calculations are carried out only after the graduate passes the final exams and starts working. Plus 3 months for adaptation. Payments begin with the salary. During their studies, banks in accordance with state regulatory documents may impose an obligation to pay only part of the accrued interest. Thus, interest accumulates more slowly, and the payouts are not so significant.
• Interest is accrued for the money actually paid to the university. But, since they are not paid, they are “refinanced” and added to the “body”. Thus, you need to pay later, including interest on interest.
• Maximum amount - 7 living wages for a constituent entity of the Russian Federation (Moscow - 15397 rubles for 2018 multiplied by 7) and multiplied by the number of months benefits, taking into account interest (that is, the maximum debt together with interest cannot exceed 7 minima multiplied by the sum of the number of months of study and 3 months for adaptation at work ).

Who can get a loan for education and what is needed for this

Requirements are imposed not only on the borrower, but also on the university in which he will study. If everything is more or less clear with the borrower, he is studied in about the same way as for obtaining any other loan (the availability of information about him in the bureau credit histories, his biography is studied from the point of view of the police, the constancy of registration at the place of registration, etc.), then the university is assessed in terms of availability state registration and the likelihood that the graduate will get a good high-paying job that will allow payments to be made. Sberbank and the Ministry of Education and Science (Ministry of Education and Science) even maintain entire registers of higher educational institutions, which are subject to loan benefits and to which they can be issued in principle.

In this regard, it is easier for the student and better to choose right away The university is more prestigious (large Moscow ones, etc.), because you still need to pay a little right away, and the level of payment of a specialist who graduated from a good university will allow not only to quickly pay off the loan, but also make good money in the future, without wasting time on secondary education quality and related work.

Do I need a pledge and a surety

To obtain a loan from Sberbank, collateral (property, real estate, securities) and the presence of a guarantor. Similar preferences are expressed in other banks. However, in the absence of collateral and guarantors, the road to lending is not at all closed. In each individual case, the bank independently assesses its risks and if the recipient is satisfied with the candidacy of the recipient, there are no requirements for the presence of a pledge and a guarantor. Although, when considering the possible interest rate, their presence may play in favor of its reduction, because in this way the bank's risks are reduced.

Do I need to pay extra on my own, make a down payment

Concerning down payment- it all depends on a specific bank and a specific program. The maximum mandatory down payment from practice is 20%. The minimum is zero. But in this case, the bank risks more and is forced to carefully evaluate the prospective borrower.

Even in the presence of state support and related benefits, it is necessary to pay extra on your own. Minimum bets for such loans, they amount to 12%, in fact, they can reach 17% - 19%, and the state can guarantee only 3/4 of the Central Bank's refinancing rate. Since March 26, 2018, this rate has been set at 7.25%, thus the educational loan benefit will be 5.437%.

The size of the state subsidy for the educational loan

As already calculated, on average (if there is no decision to change the refinancing rate of the Central Bank), 5.437% of the rate is subsidized at the expense of the state. Example - if a student is issued a loan at a rate of 12% per annum, then in fact, upon completion of studies, payments will be as for a loan at a rate of 6.563%. If at the time of registration the Bank of Russia decides to increase base rate, then in this case (while maintaining 12%), the loan to the borrower will be cheaper - the share of the state in paying for education at the university will increase.

The total duration of the program is 10 years. It is assumed that it will be enough for training and to fully pay off debts. The bank's agreement provides for how many years the future graduate will remain to pay off the debt, based on this, future payments will be established.

By the way, it is not worth hoping that during this period the bank will burn out and there will be no need to pay. About it - . In addition, in the Government Decree, the state guarantees banks a return of 20% of the amount of outstanding education loans, thereby reducing risks and making the issue of participation in this program more attractive for banks.

Which banks participate in the preferential program and which universities can be enrolled in

At the time of this writing, Sberbank was the only participant in the program. However, the forthcoming Government Decree should expand the list of participating banks. As well as the number of universities that will have the right to conclude trilateral funding agreements.

How to get a student loan (video)

Educational loan at Sberbank - conditions of 2018, list of universities

With the end of the school year in the final class, the parents are faced with the question of continuing education and admission of yesterday's student to a higher educational institution. Not everyone enters budget places. Commercially-based training is expensive - and the cost increases every year. In such a situation, one cannot do without a loan for education. Not every family has enough financial resources to pay for a student's studies without catastrophic damage to family budget relying only on wages his parents.

They solve this problem in different ways: someone simply refuses to receive higher education and chooses more affordable education in secondary specialized educational institutions, someone is forced to sell a car or even real estate, but the most common option is to apply for a loan to pay for tuition.

How to get a loan for education

Currently, financial institutions in Russia offer two instruments that can be used to pay for tuition at a higher education institution:

• educational loan(special target program);
• cash consumer loan, which can be used for the first and second higher education, additional or study abroad. That is, complete freedom in the use of credit funds.

Each of them has its own characteristics, which you should be aware of before making the final choice.

To the positive traits that characterize target loan on the education of the child, the following can be attributed:

• Availability grace period repayment. As a rule, this is the actual period of study at the university, but some banks reduce its duration up to 12 months. At this time, the borrower is required to regularly deposit a relatively small amount;
• a student loan can be issued to Russian citizens aged 14 and over. If the borrower is underage, the bank will most likely require a co-borrower.

At the same time, when applying for such a loan, a number of nuances arise that negatively affect the popularity of this financial instrument:

1. Some banks require a down payment. It can vary from 10 to 30% of the total cost of the entire period of study on credit. This is a substantial amount that not every family has. In addition, collateral may be required - for example, real estate
2. The grace period may be less than the period of study. That is, in the process of studying, the student will lose the ability to pay minimum amount... It should be borne in mind that at this time only interest is paid off - the amount of the principal debt remains unchanged.
3. As a rule, each financial institution has a list of educational institutions for whose students the bank offers to issue a loan. That is, you will either have to choose a university from the bank's partners or look for a financial organization that cooperates with the chosen university (you cannot always find one).
4. It is necessary to take into account the fact that a student can be expelled, or he realizes the erroneous choice of a specialty. In this case, he loses not only time, but also a significant amount of money. In most cases, a student loan practically forces the student to complete their studies at any cost.
5. Many banks require life and disability insurance not only for the borrower himself, but also for the co-borrower, which also entails additional costs.

These factors lead to the fact that more and more people make a choice in favor of a consumer loan, and the money received is sent to education. In this case, it is possible to consider offers from different banks and choose the best loan program.

Currently, a number of financial institutions in Russia offer programs that allow you to take a consumer loan for education (training). As a rule, financial institutions lend to adults, some of them will also require proof of income, in addition, there may be requirements for the length of service in the last job.
