In Malaysia, notable banks that offer some form of study loan include*:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">OCBC Bank: offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocbc.com.my\/personal-banking\/Loans\/study-loan.html?utm_source=ocbc_loans&amp;utm_medium=txt_links_more&amp;utm_campaign=ocbc_loans_secured_study_loan\">Secured Study Loan<\/a> that finances up to 50% of the value of a secured property, for a maximum loan period of ten years.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bank Rakyat: offers a study loan known as Education Financing-i Falah that finances up to RM200,000 for a maximum loan period of 15 years.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">*based on information provided on websites of banks in Malaysia as at August 2013<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Personal-Loans\"><\/span>2) Personal Loans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Personal loan is a banking product that probably needs no further explanation. Basically, personal loans allow people to borrow a sum of money from banks for various purposes, be it to buy a car, go holidaying, or carry out renovation, just to name a few. Naturally, personal loans can also be taken to finance one\u2019s education.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In Malaysia, different banks have different policies when it comes to personal loans. Some banks limit the loan amounts based on the borrowers\u2019 salaries (i.e. an example could be five times of one\u2019s fixed income), whilst others allow borrowers to loan up to RM200,000 depending on the fulfilment of criteria. Due to <a href=\"\/articles\/new-loan-regulations\/\">new loan regulations<\/a> imposed by Bank Negara Malaysia on 5 July 2013, banks in Malaysia are no longer allowed to offer personal loans with loan periods over 10 years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you are looking to use personal loan to finance your education, <a href=\"\/personal-loan\">click here<\/a> to find the best personal loan rates right now.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-1Malaysia-Education-Caring-Scheme-SPP1M\"><\/span>3) 1Malaysia Education Caring Scheme (SPP1M)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Launched in 6 February 2013, SPP1M is a special \u201ctop up\u201d loan scheme that offers additional funding of between RM100,000 and RM150,000 at interest rates of BLR -1% (during studying and grace period) and BLR +0% (during employment period) for tertiary level students. Technically, SPP1M is not so much a fresh loan as it is an additional financial aid for students on existing funds or scholarships. Loan period can be as high as 20 years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Based on official sources, SPP1M is applicable by all Malaysians with minimum SPM, Foundation, Matriculation or First Degree. Applicants must be from selected courses aligned with national demands and must have secured placements in approved higher education institutions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Though SPP1M is a national initiative launched by Prime Minister YAB Dato&#8217; Sri Najib Tun Haji Abdul Razak, this special loan is currently applicable only through a bank. As of August 2013, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maybank2u.com.my\/mbb_info\/m2u\/public\/personalDetail04.do?channelId=LOA-Loans&amp;cntTypeId=0&amp;cntKey=LOA15.01&amp;programId=LOA15-SPP1M&amp;chCatId=\/mbb\/Personal\/LOA-Loans\">Maybank<\/a> is the only bank offering this loan, though RHB is expected to be the second bank to do so in the near future.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Love this article?
