Private Loans

Federal student loan resources are limited and many students find it necessary to secure additional financing.  Students seeking to borrow additional funds may wish to consider borrowing from a private lender. This loan requires a credit check and often a cosigner. You may borrow up to the cost of attendance minus any other financial aid received. Interest rates can be variable or fixed and other rates, terms, and conditions will vary by lender. We encourage you to shop around for the best loan to fit your needs.
