About Prodigy Finance

Every year, more students than ever are packing their bags and heading to study in another country. As per the press release by the Open Doors report, the United States welcomed a record 1.1 million international students in 2024, contributing over $50 billion to the US economy. But leaving home for studies is not just about booking a flight or choosing a course. Many students face major challenges when managing their finances across different countries and currencies.

Prodigy Finance, a global student loan provider, is taking a bold initiative in 2025 to fund students in India who wish to study abroad. In November 2024, they received a significant funding amount of USD 310 million from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). This financial support marks an important step in Prodigy Finance's mission to make education more accessible, helping students from Prodigy-supported regions to attend higher education at Prodigy-supported schools.
