FINS Educational Loan for EU Students
The FINS loan scheme, developed by the EDUCATIVA Group with the support of the European Union and guaranteed by the European Investment Fund, is available to all students from an EU member state that lack the financial resources to pursue higher education abroad. The scheme was introduced to Falmouth University in 2022.
Falmouth University is not associated with nor is it recommending FINS and has no financial interest in the scheme. The University has and accepts no liability for the arrangements and actions of FINS and we encourage students to carefully research their options and take their own independent legal advice before signing any agreements.
