Two loan options
Choose the option that works best for you
TSFC offers two student loan types, covering your full fees or just the portion you need.
Option 1 - Full Student Loan
TSFC covers your entire tuition fees plus your deposit. Single point of contact, repayments to TSFC starting immediately upon signing.
Option 2 - Partial Student Loan
You pay your deposit directly to Arden, and TSFC covers the remaining tuition. Repayments to TSFC begin in your first month of study.
| Full Loan | Partial Loan | |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit | TSFC pays your deposit | You pay deposit directly to institution |
| Loan Coverage | Full tuition + deposit | Tuition minus deposit |
| Repayments To | TSFC only | Institution (deposit) + TSFC (loan) |
| Repayment Start | Immediately upon signing | First month of study |
A note on deferrals: if your studies are deferred you may cancel your loan and reapply when you're ready (refund per our refund policy), or continue repayments as scheduled and pay off your loan sooner.
