Graduate / Professional Students Alternative Loan Options
If you have exhausted all federal aid sources, alternative loans may be an option to consider. Interest rates are higher than federal loan programs and credit worthiness standards are more rigorous.
Alternative loan programs allow students to borrow additional funds. The loan is in the student's name but almost always will require a credit-worthy co:signer. These loans are credit-based and fees and interest rates vary depending upon the lender. Lenders offer different loan programs based upon program of study. Students can borrow up to the cost of education minus other aid.
