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 specific credit requirements, and in most cases a co-signer is strongly recommended.
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.
