Alternative (Private) Loans for Students. Most lenders offer private (non-federal) loans for students who need additional funding beyond their Stafford eligibility. Generally, these loans require student and/or cosigner credit eligibility.

  1. Check with your lender for details on their alternative loan product. See Compare Lenders.

We strongly suggest you meet with our loan coordinator to discuss alternative loans before you apply.
