Ce spun studenții FINS?

FINS presupune un mecanism de creditare centrat mai degrabă pe profilul tău profesional și academic, față de alte soluții de creditare oferite de bănci. Astfel, este posibil să accesezi o sursă de finanțare a studiilor imediat după terminarea licenței. În plus, FINS iți oferă creditul pe baza unor estimări personale a cheltuielilor și în tranșe lunare, ambele fiind de folos în gestionarea mai ușoară a bugetului pe parcursul studiului. De asemenea, experiența de aplicare este una plăcută, fără birocrația și rigiditatea unei instituții financiare obișnuite. Pentru mine FINS reprezintă sursa principală de sprijin ce mi-a permis ca astăzi să studiez în străinătate.

Află totul despre creditele FINS
Mobilitatea și libertatea sunt două lucruri fundamentale pentru orice experiență de studiu, atât în România, cât și în străinătate și cred că sunt exact elementele pe care le-am putut obține cu ajutorul FINS. Faptul că nu trebuie să îmi fac atât de multe griji despre costurile zilnice mi-a oferit libertatea de a mă concentra exclusiv pe programul de masterat și pe activitățile extracurriculare. Obstacolele materiale sunt cu siguranță, nu doar limitative, ci și extrem de descurajatoare, e foarte greu să-ți proiectezi o imagine despre viitor în momentul în care ești forțat să iei în calcul că multe dintre lucrurile pe care ți le imaginezi sunt mereu condiționate de un buget limitat sau de imposibilitatea de a avea un plan financiar sustenabil. Acest credit m-a responsabilizat foarte tare din punct de vedere financiar și m-a făcut să conștientizez că accesul la un sistem educațional competitiv și compatibil cu nevoile și pasiunile tale sunt argumente suficiente pentru a investi activ în viitorul tău.
