It simply means that the exchange rates aren\u2019t fixed. It constantly changes and fluctuates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the value of the currency goes up and other times, the value goes down. This can either allow you to trade more of the other kind or lead to the weakening of the currency where you get less of one currency in exchange for another. This constant change is called the exchange rate volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: Travelling to London for studies?

It makes budgeting tricky. A loan in your home currency can lead to higher living expenses abroad and larger loan repayments due to a weaker currency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can impact the payment of tuition fees, living expenses, disbursement of funds, loan repayment, etc. Your finances will be impacted if there are frequent changes in exchange rates. You might end up paying more if the value of your home currency decreases. Check out the impact of this on student loans and other expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-impact-on-loan-amount\"><span id=\"impact-on-loan-amount\">Impact on Loan Amount<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You must pay your tuition fees in the currency of the host country. However, exchange rate volatility can affect student loans taken to cover tuition fees. If the value of INR decreases relative to the currency of the host country, you end up paying more covering the same amount of tuition fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider an example, you took an <a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/education-loan\/education-loan-for-pilot-training\/\"><strong>education loan for pilot training<\/strong><\/a> of INR 5,00,000 for studies in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tuition fees were supposed to be disbursed on a certain date in July. However, due to schedule changes, the amount will now be disbursed in the first week of August. Now, if the exchange rate on the initial disbursement date was 1 USD = INR 80 and rises to INR 85 on the changed date, it will result in a financial burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The loan sanctioned amount remains unchanged and you will be expected to pay higher. This is due to exchange rate volatility as you need to pay more INR to repay an equivalent amount of USD. This affects your overall budget as the bank cannot increase the loan amount offered and you must manage all related expenses in the sanctioned amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-impact-on-living-expenses-abroad\"><span id=\"impact-on-living-expenses-abroad\">Impact on Living Expenses Abroad<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exchange rate volatility can affect the cost of living expenses for international students. A weakening home currency reduces your purchasing power in the host country. This can potentially strain your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of this, you plan to study in London. The estimated cost of living while budget planning came to be around GBP 1,300 to 1,400 (INR 1.40 lakhs to 1.50 lakhs as per 1 GBP = INR 108). Let&#8217;s say the exchange rate increased to INR 120.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means your purchasing power has reduced in the UK now. Everyday expenses like rent, groceries, and transportation feel more expensive as the initial conversion doesn\u2019t stretch far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-impact-on-funding\"><span id=\"impact-on-funding\">Impact on Funding<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many countries offer scholarships, bursaries, and other types of financial assistance like <a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/scholarships\/phd-funding-in-france\/\"><strong>scholarships for PhD funding in France<\/strong><\/a>. However, the amount of funding received can vary due to exchange rate volatility. Fluctuations can lead to receiving lesser amounts if the value of the home currency increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-impact-on-funds-transfers\"><span id=\"impact-on-funds-transfers\">Impact on Funds Transfers<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Transfer of funds from the home country to the host country or vice versa is an important aspect of the study abroad journey. However, it can significantly impact the amount received via <a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/money-transfer\/faqs-on-international-wire-transfer\/\"><strong>international wire transfers<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: Check this blog and learn all the differences between <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/money-transfer\/wire-transfer-vs-forex-card\/\"><strong>international wire transfers and forex card<\/strong><\/a><strong> transactions abroad and choose the suitable option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-deal-with-exchange-rate-volatility\"><span id=\"how-to-deal-with-exchange-rate-volatility\">How to Deal with Exchange Rate Volatility?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common way to deal with exchange rate volatility is to use Forward Contracts, an instrument that lets you hedge\/ lock exchange rates for future transactions.

You can talk to your bank when purchasing FRA (Forward Rate Agreements).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to deal with exchange rate volatility is to create a budget with a buffer. This way you have a chance for financial management if the currency exchange fluctuations move against you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fly.finance\/blog\/money-transfer\/forex-tips-for-international-students\/\"><strong>Forex tips for international students<\/strong><\/a> can also help you manage the exchange rate volatility on student loans-&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Always monitor exchange rates between your home and host country to identify favourable exchange times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get Forex cards. They offer locked-in exchange rates which are safer and more convenient than cash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For extended stays, an international student bank account in the host country can help you avoid ATM fees and simplify receiving payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beware of hidden charges like commissions and transfer fees when exchanging currency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow financial news and currency converter apps to track exchange rates and make informed financial decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This was all about exchange rate volatility and its impact on student loans.
