We've created a series where we will introduce you to some of our funding partners to show you just how easy it is to finance your studies at Eduvos.
At Eduvos, we want to make private higher education accessible to everyone, so we are incredibly excited about partnering with Manati. We recently visited their head office in the Mother City, Cape Town.
Manati is an alternate student funding provider. Having realised there's a gap in the market where there are so many students who cannot afford or secure a bank loan or other funding. Their aim is to bridge that gap and provide funding for these students for their higher education. As an alternative funding partner, Manati’s approach to credit scores is quite different to banks as they are a lot more forgiving. Life happens and once they pull the credit agents, they'll pull a credit report. Looking at it line by line to investigate possible issues, once they know the credit score and record are valid, they are still able to provide a loan.
In addition, Manati considers joint household income on each application. They consider two sponsors, so the combined income then creates a better of success in being approved for a loan. Manati treats each student uniquely. Once your application comes into their portal, you are assigned your own agent who will walk this journey with you from start to finish, while communicating with your sponsor and Eduvos.
The application process is so easy. All you need to do is visit www.manati.co.za, click the Apply button, fill in your details, your sponsors’ details and some income details. If you have all your documentation ready, you can upload it, which makes the whole process a lot faster. You’ll click enter and your application will go straight into Manati’s system. Their agents will be in touch within 30 minutes, you’ll receive either a WhatsApp, email or call to let you know they’re working on your application. Your agent will be in touch to verify information, find missing documentation and work tirelessly to help you secure a loan. Once the loan is secured, you will receive a loan agreement which can be signed electronically. Everything will be done online, there is no need to go into their offices. You will then need to accept the debit order mandate, the loan is then created and paid straight into Eduvos’s account. You don’t need to worry about transferring funds or waiting for funds to appear in your bank account. Manati will notify you, your sponsor and Eduvos.
At Eduvos, our pre-enrolment opportunity allows you to secure your seat and shape your future at the best-voted Higher Education Provider in South Africa. You don’t have to wait for your results to be released in January. In fact, pre-enrolling gives you time to plan ahead and secure funding. You will receive your student number and provisional acceptance letter which you can use for your funding application. According to Manati, they often find that one of the biggest stumbling blocks for students is having to wait for enrolment documentation. However, the pre-enrolling for 2024 process is seamless. All you need is to have your documentation (pre-enrolment provisional acceptance letter, payslips and ID documents) in order, they do not need to be certified copies and they can be shared with your agent on WhatsApp. We appreciate just how easy Manati has made it for our students to apply for funding.
