Study Now, Pay Later

The Asian Institute of Management (AIM) offers study now, pay later programs for Filipinos, aiming to empower students to prioritize their education and cultivate a mindset of lifelong learning. The loan programs apply to a maximum of 80% of the program balance fee, excluding registration fees, discounts, and/or scholarships. Limited slots are available, and applications are processed on a first come, first served basis. To ensure the validity of a loan application, the applicant must have paid the registration fee and fulfilled all the necessary loan application requirements.

Study now, pay later programs do not require collaterals. Instead, applicants must provide a co-maker — an individual known to them, willing to function as a guarantor for the loan. The co-maker assumes the responsibility to settle the monthly amortization if you default. Qualified co-makers must be under 55 years old and must be residing and working in the country.
