US Loans

Thank you for choosing the University of Edinburgh to study. We hope the information contained within these pages guide you through the steps to successfully complete the US Loans processes.

Federal Loans Origination Update

Please note, due to issues with the US Department of Education's loan origination system (COD) we are currently unable to originate loans for continuing students who have previously borrowed under the Direct Loans programme. These issues are due to the changes required to the system after the implementation of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Please accept our apologies whilst we await for the US Systems to be updated. We appreciate your patience during this time.
