Private Loans
Private loans are available from a variety of banks and lenders. The terms and rates for alternative loans are usually not as good as the Federal Stafford Loans, but are a better option than using your credit card to pay your educational costs.
Applying for and Receiving an Alternative Loan
You can apply for an alternative loan by contacting the lender directly.
- Usually the lender will require our office to certify that you are a student and what your costs are for the year.
- The bank will send the loan funds directly to the school.
- Should you want to check on the status of your loan, you need to check with the lender directly.
