Imperial staff can benefit from an interest-free loan to help with the costs of part-time study while employed by Imperial. The aim is to help staff engage in study that will further their career aspirations yet fall outside of the provision available within Imperial. The scheme works similarly to the Season Ticket Loan and the i-Cycle scheme.
In essence, staff with at least seven months of their appointment remaining can apply for a loan to pay fees for a course of study through a recognised learning provider *. Repayments are usually spread over ten months (fewer if their appointment is shorter) and repaid via their monthly salary.
