Student Borrowing

After you have considered all federal loans, you may also be interested in applying for a Private Loan for Education.  A private loan is a credit-based educational loan.  Terms and conditions are set by each individual lender, so students should shop wisely for their lender.  Students unable to qualify on their own may need to obtain a co-borrower/co-signer.  Students may borrow up to their Cost of Attendance budget, less any other financial aid funds and resources received.

Private Loans for Education

Federal Direct loans are the most common source of student loan funds made available to students seeking a degree or certificate. Federal Direct Loans must be repaid with interest. Federal Direct Loans offer deferments of principal payments while a student is in school and allow a six-month grace period after leaving school, before repayment begins. Depending on a student's need as calculated by U.S Department of Education, a Federal Direct Loan may be offered as a subsidized or unsubsidized loan, or as a combination of the two.

The Federal TEACH Grant Program provides grant funds to eligible students who are completing or plan to complete coursework that is needed to begin a career in teaching, and who agree to serve for at least four years as a full-time, highly qualified teacher in a high-need field, in a school serving low-income students.
