Abstract

The increasing cost in education occurs everywhere. Most of the household income was spent on education. The financial support offered by the higher learning institution is one of the five important features expected from the institution. Students who receive financial support are therefore more likely to enter higher education institution. Furthermore, the factors influencing students’ satisfaction towards the selection of education loan also need to make known in order to understand the problems and solution for them.
