Financial Aid

Alternative or Private Education Loans

Sometimes scholarships, grants, and federal loans do not cover all the expenses associated with paying for school. Many lenders offer alternative or private education loans to help bridge the gap between your financial aid package and what you and your family can realistically pay.

Private loans are available regardless of financial need; however, credit guidelines do apply. Students often need to use a parent or other adult as a cosigner to be eligible. Loan amounts, rates, fees, and repayment periods vary by lender so it is important to shop around.
