Most banks do not recognize the post-sanction issues that a student faces, like a sudden increase in the ROI. However, we at WeMakeScholars wholeheartedly sympathize with students in this regard and so offer post-sanction services along with sanction and disbursement. We talk to the lenders about the issues that the student is facing and get them resolved.
