MICROCREDIT provider Niche Financing Limited and the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean (UCC) have entered into an education loan partnership which will see students from the tertiary institution benefiting from “flexible financial solutions” that will cover tuition.

The partnership, according to Niche, aims to satisfy individuals pursuing tertiary education at UCC by providing them with regular and pre-approved loans at discounted rates and flexible terms.

“Directors of Niche Financing Ltd and the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean have a vested interest to satisfy individuals pursuing tertiary education in a wholesome manner with special emphasis on affordability, flexibility and not a one-size-fits all,” the company shared in a press release.

New and returning students between the ages of 15 and 75, engaged in both online and in-person courses, are eligible for loans which are paid over to UCC upon approval. The loans cover tuitions for short courses up to doctoral programmes.

Applicants can apply for loans up to $1 million without a guarantor, Dianna Allen, business development and marketing manager at Niche, told the Jamaica Observer. However, the UCC education loan band goes up to $4 million.
