Exploring Private Loans

Private loans are designed to bridge the gap between available funds and school costs. Considered alternative loans, private loans should be used to supplement federal loan programs. If you don't qualify for a federal loan or if what you were awarded won't cover expenses, a private loan might work for you.

Attention Parents!

Parent PLUS Loans are federally-sponsored education loans for parents of undergraduate, dependent students. With this loan, you could borrow up to the full cost of your child's education (less student financial aid received).
