CAW Loans2Learn

The CAW Loans2Learn Scheme is a personal loan that students* can take out with the College of Animal Welfare. The loan can be used to fully or partially cover your course fees, but does not cover any Awarding Body fees (such as examination and registration fees).

The loan works in a similar way to a bank loan, and it is not provided from the DfE or any other government department, and is not related to any student finance.

Successful applicants are required to start paying back any borrowed money plus interest after the first month on programme. The loan repayment term will be a minimum of the maximum length of your course, up to a maximum of five years. Your monthly loan repayments will be dependent on the agreed interest rate and repayment term as detailed in your loan agreement.

The CAW Loans2Learn Scheme should be seen as a last resort of finance. The College recommend that you speak to friends, family and your employer (if applicable), and seek independent advice from the Money Advice Service before making any financial decision.
