What is a School Loan?

A school loan is a form of business financing specifically designed to help educational institutions manage and expand their operations. It provides funds to private or independent schools for purposes such as upgrading infrastructure, building new classrooms, investing in digital learning tools, improving facilities, paying staff salaries, or meeting working capital needs.

These loans are typically offered by banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) to school management bodies or educational trusts. They are unsecured in most cases, meaning no collateral is required, and come with structured repayment options. A school loan ensures that educational institutions have the financial resources to deliver quality education and scale effectively.
