For International Students

While international students may not be eligible for government-funded financial aid, several options are available to assist with educational expenses:

• ULI Payment Plan: ULI offers a flexible Payment Plan option to help manage your tuition fees more conveniently. With this plan, you can pay your tuition in monthly installments instead of a lump sum payment. To enroll in the ULI Payment Plan or learn more about payment options, please contact ULI’s Admissions team.

• Off-Campus Employment: International students with a valid study permit may work up to 24 hours per week during academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks. Off-campus jobs can provide additional financial support and valuable work experience.

Budgeting and Financial Planning

Regardless of your funding sources, effective budgeting is crucial. Consider the following tips:

• Estimate Expenses: Account for tuition, books, supplies, housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses.

• Track Spending: Use budgeting tools or apps to monitor your expenses and adjust as needed.

• Plan for Emergencies: Set aside a portion of your budget for unexpected costs.
