Students urged to explore all funding options for overseas study

Financial planning is essential for students considering higher education overseas, with prospective applicants urged to explore scholarships, loans, personal savings, and other funding options before committing to a programme.

Managing Director of The Student Centre, Sheena Alleyne, offered the advice as she spoke to the media about the importance of preparing for the financial demands of overseas education at Saturday’s 2026 CUP Fest International Education Fair at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre.

She said students and parents need to look beyond the appeal of attending a foreign institution and carefully consider how they would finance their studies.
