ALTERNATIVE LOANS

Many lenders offer alternative loans as a means to fund your education. These loans are generally based on your credit history and can be used in addition to federal, state, school, or external funding you receive. It is important to remember to use all other resources before turning to an alternative loan.

First make sure you have filed your FAFSA and received an Award Letter from the Financial Aid Office. Then if you need additional assistance, select a lender with the most favorable interest rates and terms. Please be aware that final approval must be received by the Financial Aid Office before an alternative loan will be deducted from your bill. You may select an alternative loan from one of our five preferred lenders listed below. After reviewing options offered by many lenders, the Financial Aid Office selected these lenders because of the excellent benefits and service offered to students and parents. Benefits and service to our students and parents are the most important criteria for us. You have the right and ability to select a lender that does not appear on this list, and you will not incur a penalty for choosing another lender.
