For international students, getting a world-class education often comes with financial challenges. Mohammad Helal, a dedicated student from Chattogram, Bangladesh, faced financial hurdles as he pursued a master’s in supply chain management at Adelphi University in the U.S. 

Read on to learn more about his journey and how an MPOWER Financing loan helped him overcome these challenges.

From dreams to reality

From a young age, Mohammad believed an international education would significantly benefit his career. “I had a dream since I was a child that I would study abroad,” he says.

By the time Mohammad was ready to study in the U.S., he already had a master’s degree and had worked in banking in Bangladesh for seven years. But he aspired to even further career development. “One degree abroad will help me in my career development,” he explains. “That’s why I am doing a master’s in the USA.”

How MPOWER Financing helped Mohammad

Paying for his studies abroad was a challenge for Mohammad. He needed funds not only for his education and living expenses, but also to support his family, who planned to join him in the U.S.

In his search for financial support, Mohammad discovered MPOWER Financing, which provides student loans to international students in the U.S. and Canada. “When I started thinking about how to manage my financial situation,” he recalls, “I had some personal funding, but needed extra money. I started Googling for opportunities and found MPOWER.”

Mohammad gained clarity and a solution for his funding needs by talking with MPOWER’s knowledgeable representatives. After learning about  the process of getting an international student loan, he decided to proceed with MPOWER and submitted an online application. 

Mohammad remembers the relief he felt when he received his loan approval. “I was very excited and happy. MPOWER’s support made it possible for me to come to the U.S. and focus on my education without financial worries.”

The challenges of studying abroad

Moving to the U.S. has been full of adjustments for Mohammad. “For me, the U.S. is challenging because of its new location,” he said, reflecting on the cultural shifts and getting used to a new environment. Though the transition was tough, he saw it as a chance for growth.

Plans for the future

Mohammad remains optimistic and grateful for the opportunity to study in the U.S. and receive world-recognized education. After graduation, he plans to gain experience in the U.S. job market before deciding on his next move – whether to return to Bangladesh, stay in the U.S. or move to another country. 

Why Mohammad recommends MPOWER Financing

Mohammad’s story is not just about following his aspirations but also about overcoming obstacles with careful planning and support. He says MPOWER Financing made a significant impact on his career and recommends it to fellow students facing similar challenges.

“I have already suggested MPOWER to three of my close friends. Those who want to come to the U.S. for a better education can benefit greatly from MPOWER Financing.”

Mohammad’s experience shows the importance of financial support in achieving educational dreams. MPOWER Financing has been more than just a lender – it enables many students like Mohammad to aspire, achieve and succeed internationally.
