Once you’ve accepted your provisional offer, a task will appear on your dashboard to verify your identity and provide some documentation.
We’ll need documents that confirm the following:
Your Identity
You’ll be directed to an automatic verification process to complete your identity task, asking you to follow the system prompts in order to complete verifying your application:
- Upload a copy of your valid passport in a clearly readable format. A color scan of the identification page (clear photo) is enough - you don't need to send through copies of every page.
- Take a selfie to confirm your identity to match your provided passport
Proof of Address:
This document should clearly display your name and full residential address, matching what you stated in your application. This document must be dated within the last three months. To learn more about what documents to upload to confirm your address, click here.
Your school admission
We'll need a letter, i-20 or email from your school clearly displaying your name, school, course, and an indication that you've been accepted. This course information will need to match the course selected in your application. Read this article to learn more about confirming your school admission.
Your Credit Report
We’ll need a copy of your credit report that summarises your credit history and must be prepared by a credit reference agency of a specific country. If you have not taken out credit before, you can provide us with your "No hit" / "No data" report instead.

Any savings or family contributions to fund your studies
In some instances, we’ll need you to show that you have sufficient funds available in order to support yourself with the aid of the Prodigy Finance loan. This is the amount declared as savings in your application budget.
- We'll need official savings account statements that show available funds for the amount listed in your application. Please note that we do not accept investments in stocks as a form of savings.
- If somebody else is contributing towards your savings, they'll need to complete this form so you can upload it to your dashboard in addition to providing their bank statements.
- Already made payments to your school? Great! We can use that as part of your proof of savings. Please upload confirmation from your school as well as the proof of payment for this.
- Please read this article to learn more about confirming savings or family contributions.
Confirming your sponsorship or scholarship
- We’ll need a letter containing an official letterhead from the source of the scholarship/sponsorship that matches the amount you included in your application. This document should include your name and should be in a non-editable format, such as PDF.
- If you were granted non-state tuition - great news! We would just need a letter advising that your tuition will be that of an in-state student with all the relevant information on it. The information we’d need includes your name, school name and the document must also be in a non-editable format.
- Once we have this information, our team will then update your application and ensure that your loan amount aligns with your new cost of attendance.
