Alternative Loans

If you desire additional funds after receiving your financial aid package, you can opt to apply for alternative loans from private lenders. These loans are credit-based and are up to the cost of attendance. If your credit is insufficient, a worthy co-borrower can enable you to take out a loan. See your financial aid officer for application information and lender details.
