Planning to study abroad often comes with excitement but for many students and parents, education loans remain the most confusing part of the journey. To address this gap with transparency and real conversations, Study Smart successfully hosted the Study Abroad EduLoan Fest 2026 in Pune, bringing students, parents, and leading education loan providers together under one roof.
Held at the Study Smart office in Pune, the EduLoan Fest was designed as a practical, in-person event focused entirely on simplifying overseas education financing. Over the course of the day, 80+ students and families attended the event to understand loan eligibility, repayment structures, documentation requirements, and funding options for studying abroad.
One of the biggest highlights of EduLoan Fest 2026 was the presence of 15+ leading education loan providers, allowing students to interact directly with bank representatives instead of relying on fragmented online information.
Students were able to speak one-on-one with representatives from banks and financial institutions such as:
These interactions helped students understand how different lenders assess profiles, what impacts loan approval, and how interest rates, collateral requirements, and repayment terms vary based on course, country, and university.
Unlike typical seminars, the EduLoan Fest focused on individual profile-based guidance. Students were encouraged to carry their academic and financial documents, which allowed bank representatives and Study Smart counsellors to offer realistic loan eligibility assessments rather than generic advice.
Many parents appreciated the opportunity to ask questions directly — especially around co-applicant requirements, repayment timelines, and post-study financial planning. For families, this clarity helped reduce anxiety and replace uncertainty with informed decision-making.
The event catered to students planning undergraduate, postgraduate, and MBA programs abroad, covering popular destinations such as the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Europe, and Dubai. Discussions also included how employability, course outcomes, and university reputation influence loan approvals — an aspect often overlooked during planning.
By the end of the event, several attendees shared that they were able to narrow down lenders, understand realistic loan amounts, and move forward confidently with their study abroad plans.
EduLoan Fest 2026 reflected Study Smart’s larger philosophy — helping students and parents make well-informed decisions, not rushed ones. By creating a space where clarity replaced confusion, the event reinforced the importance of planning finances alongside admissions.
For students who attended, the EduLoan Fest was not just about loans — it was about gaining peace of mind before taking a major step toward international education.
With the positive response and strong turnout, EduLoan Fest 2026 proved to be a meaningful step in supporting families through one of the most critical aspects of studying abroad. Study Smart continues to remain committed to hosting such initiatives that empower students with knowledge, access, and honest guidance.
As global education pathways evolve, events like the EduLoan Fest play a crucial role in ensuring that students move forward with clarity, confidence, and the right financial foundation.
