Private Loans

For students studying less than half-time or who would prefer a private loan over federal loans, there are many lenders offering private education loans.  You are free to choose whichever lender you wish.  We have a small lender list, built on prior student selections at www.elmselect.com.

*Please note, private loans can not be taken in addition to federal loans if you have already maxed out your aid.  Private loans also have to fit within the cost of attendance.
