In order to assist students with borrowing decisions, Student Financial Services has financial aid advising available to discuss loan indebtedness, loan amounts, and loan terms prior to applying for an alternative loan. Contact the Campus Hub if you wish to set up an advising appointment.
Information About Other Loan Options
As with any loan, the borrower is taking on a major commitment to pay the loan back with interest. Please borrow conservatively and only take out what you need.
Many of our students have found it beneficial to borrow their alternative loans through the same bank through which they borrowed their Federal Stafford Loan(s). This will allow the borrower to keep her/his borrowing with the same lender and generally make repayment easier.
