How do Portuguese loans work for students?

By: Clint Jhonson

As Portugal is a developing country the quality of life is constantly improving, so people want more and more products. Portuguese loans allow them to purchase those products – whether new homes or higher education. Truth be told, Portugal is a great Empréstimo loans market, and student loans are among the most looked for products. If you are wondering what the possibilities are to find money for studies in Portugal you should know that most students get part time jobs to subsidize their studies.

There are also bursaries for some courses and scholarships. Other students just have well off parents. But they are also entitled to a student loan (or Empréstimo loans), part of which is dependent on income. Students can apply for these Portuguese loans through their local education authorities. As well as that, those with a disability can claim disabled students allowance to help meet the extra costs. Students usually phone or email the university they are thinking of studying at or visit their website; this usually provides them with more detail as to the sources of funding.

If students are looking for postgraduate funding then generally the research councils fund the universities for specific posts which they then advertise on their own website. The careers section of your local university should have more information (and probably booklets) on sources of funding. There are also organizations that provide specific funding for international students (for example Fulbright scholarships etc). Due to the diversity of cases and needs, it is almost impossible to list all sources for student loans, but students should be all the time aware that there are a large number of Empréstimo loans out there.

Perhaps the most common situation for students to apply for Portuguese loans is this: parents pay for college, but the student still needs money for college books, car payments, and other such things. In this case the student is often wondering whether it is possible that he or she could have their parents pay the school, and they take out a student loan that the bank will pay to me for miscellaneous things while they are in college.

This is a pretty standard problem. Students need a little extra money to pay for the things that aren't part of the usual college costs. What all students in this case most likely will need is some kind of private student loan. Empréstimo loans usually have the check sent directly to the student and it can be used for anything they want.

Another problem is when students go to graduate school – in this situation they wonder whether they could consolidate the undergrad loan with the loan of the graduate school, so that they would not have to pay into the undergrad loan until they graduate from grad school. Portuguese loans allow them to defer the private loan while they are in grad school, even if they cannot consolidate the private loan.

However, students should definitely compare the different private lenders out there, which can be done easily at different sites. Most of the rates are very similar but every student should do a little research and pick one that they think is best. Some of these Empréstimo loans have very quick and easy application process, and the money is sent directly to the student so they can use the money for whatever they want.
