Students can borrow up to their full cost of attendance for their programme.

You can apply for a Title IV loan once you have accepted a place on your programme. The federal School Code for London Business School is G20955 

Entrance Counselling

It is a US legal requirement for all students who take out Title IV loans to undergo entrance counselling. This is to ensure that you understand the responsibilities and the terms and conditions of your loan.

Please complete entrance counselling on the StudentLoans.gov website. You will need your FSA ID. You will need to take a screenshot of the counselling confirmation and send it in with your application as we require proof that the counselling session(s) have been completed. We cannot certify your loan until we have a copy of the counselling confirmation.

Exit Counselling

You must also complete exit counselling by the time you finish or withdraw from your studies. This must be completed before you graduate, drop below half-time attendance, or withdraw, regardless of whether you plan to transfer to another University or re-enrol at London Business School. The counselling session will help you understand your rights and responsibilities as a student loan borrower and provides useful tips and information to help you manage your loans.

Please complete exit counselling on the StudentLoans.gov website. You will need your FSA ID. Please email the 'Completed Exit Counselling' confirmation page to the Visas and Financial Aid Team once completed.

NSLDS Enrolment

Title IV loan information will be submitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS), and will be accessible by guaranty agencies, lenders, and schools determined to be authorized users of the data system. Any changes to your enrolment status will be reported via NSLDS within the required timeframes.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

London Business School has an institution-wide SAP Policy, which can be downloaded here.

Return of Title IV funding

If you withdraw from London Business School, this can affect our eligibility for Title IV funding. Please see our R2T4 policy here.

Consumer Information

The US Department of Education requires all institutions participating in the US Federal Aid programme to disclose important information to our students and prospective students. This can be downloaded here.

Cost of Attendance

The amount you can borrow is determined by the Cost of Attendance. Please see here for our 2024/25 Cost of Attendance Calculations.
