The answer

Usury is one of the gravest sins and destructive acts, and it is impermissible to engage in it except out of necessity or a recognized need that is treated as such. Completing one's studies is not, in principle, among the necessities, but it may become so in some circumstances, based on a person's urgent need for it in their work or livelihood.
