Alternative Loan Options
Alternative loans are available from private lenders such as banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions. These loans are not guaranteed by the federal government. Before applying for a private loan, students are advised to first exhaust all of their federal loan eligibility.
In the past, our students have found the following websites to be helpful in taking out additional loans:
- Student Financial Services Financing Options, which includes a link to the BorrowSmart loan comparison tool
- BorrowSmart
Please note that loans may be adjusted if additional monetary awards are granted to the student.
