Alternative (Private) Education Loans

Alternative (private) education loans are offered by private lending institutions and are not subsidized by a government agency. Interest rates, processing fees, eligibility requirements, and repayment differ with each lender. There are strict credit requirements, and in most cases a co-signer is needed.

Alternative (private) education loans are not to be used as a substitution for Federal financial aid loans. Alternative (private) education loans are intended to provide additional funding for your education after Federal loans are sought.

We maintain a list of private lenders and an overview of their services. View our options for Alternative Loans.

Once you have completed your loan application, your lender will contact you. You may also want to take a moment to review our student lending code of conduct (pdf).

Remember: Your first step in the financial aid process is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. If you need more information about completing the FAFSA form, visit our financial aid resources page. Or, if you have not yet completed your FAFSA form, this link will get you started.
