How can US students fund the MA?

Se the options available for overseas students.

Updated yesterday

US students have several options to fund the MA Creative Practice ($13,500).

Private Student Loans

While federal loans (FAFSA) are not available for this programme, some private lenders offer education loans for US students studying overseas. You may need a creditworthy co-signer.

Possible lenders include:

  • Sallie Mae — Smart Option Student Loan (select "International School")

  • College Ave — Graduate Student Loans (contact directly to confirm eligibility)

  • Prodigy Finance — Graduate Student Loans (no co-signer required)

  • Credible — Comparison tool for multiple lenders

Employer Tuition Assistance

Many US employers offer up to $5,250/year in education benefits. We provide a letter template to help with this.

Scholarships & Tuition Discounts

We offer partial scholarships for international students, and you may qualify for small bursaries towards travel.

Payment Plans

Flexible tuition payment plans available to spread the cost over the programme.

Independent & Creative Funding

Some students use crowdfunding, personal savings, or creative grants (especially in the arts).

Why It's Worth It

  • 1-year completion — Earn a UK-accredited master's in 12 months

  • Creative residentials — Travel for just three inspiring week-long visits

  • Work while you study — Flexible online structure

Important: Plymouth Marjon University is not currently eligible for US Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
