Student Loans

Federal Direct Loans - The Federal Direct Loan Program offers low interest rate loans (subsidized or unsubsidized) directly from the Department of Education to students. Eligibility is determined using information provided in the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). 
 
Alternative Loans - Alternative student loans are funded by private lending institutions and are not based on need.  We highly recommend that you apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) before you apply for an alternative loan as they may offer more benefits.
