Frequently Asked Questions About College Loans in General

What is a private college loan?

Unlike Federal Student Loans, private student loans are specialized education loans based on your credit history and income and should be considered after all federal loans, grants and scholarships have been exhausted. Lenders typically give better terms for better credit history.

What can private college loans be used for?

Private college loans can be used for education-related expenses including such things as tuition, books, transportation and room and board.

Who can apply for an undergraduate private college loan?

The student must apply for the loan. Since many students do not have extensive credit history, they will need a creditworthy cosigner to apply for this student loan.

Are there application deadlines?

No. You may apply for a college loan at any time.

What is the application process?

You will need to submit your application online. Once you determine the amount you want to borrow, you will need your Social Security Number, driver's license, cosigner information, and two additional references ready. You and your cosigner's credit will be checked. You can then check your status online at any time.

What should I look for in a loan for college?

Interest rates and fees can vary significantly between lenders. Many lenders also offer borrower benefits that can reduce the principal or interest on a private student loan. Be sure to look carefully at the terms and conditions when applying for a loan.
