选择贷款

选择贷款, 也被称为私人贷款, are commercial loans offered by banks and other private lenders as an option to help cover the difference between the cost of attendance and the student’s financial aid offer. Private or alternative loans are not federally guaranteed and should only be considered after your eligibility for all other types of aid have been exhausted.

The repayment terms of federal loan 项目 may be more favorable than the terms of private loans. Alternative student loans may not be included in Federal Direct Consolidation 贷款 and are not eligible for Federal Income-Based Repayment Plan or for Federal Economic Hardship deferments.

  • 选择贷款人

    Choosing an alternative lender is an important decision that will affect you for the duration of your loan. Rules for repayment and deferment vary from lender to lender, although repayment generally begins after full disbursement. Some lenders may postpone/defer repayment during periods of at least half-time enrollment and economic hardship; however, interest will continue to accrue on the loan as of the date it is disbursed. We encourage you to compare loan 项目 carefully before selecting a lender and to borrow as little as possible (only what you need). For help comparing private loans, use the following options:

    To compare loans before submitting a credit application, use FASTChoice. FASTChoice is a tool that allows you to compare private loan terms and rates side by side. You are able to view loan options BEFORE completing an application.  Once you choose your preferred lender, you can complete the application process at that time. The information presented on this site is unbiased, thorough and clearly presented. You may choose any participating program or lender you wish; no preference is given to any particular lender.

    To compare loans after submitting a credit application, use 麻雀. 麻雀 is a tool that enables students and co-signers to submit a single loan application that will automatically find you the best offers from their network of lenders. No additional applications will be required, and you can select your lender after seeing all interest rate options. The lenders on this list are selected through data analysis; 麻雀 selects a network of lenders that provide the most competitive rates for their community.

  • 利率 & 其他费用

    Interest rates, origination and repayment fees for these loans vary and are set by the lender. Most private lenders require a co-borrower and interest rates are based on the credit of the borrower and/or co-borrower. Current interest rates vary from 0% to 14%, vary on a monthly or quarterly basis and may not have a maximum interest rate cap.

    The Federal Direct 贷款 have a fixed interest (which is not dependent on credit) of 4.99% for subsidized and unsubsidized loans and a loan origination fee as high as 1.057%. Every student who applies for a Federal Direct Loan is eligible to receive one, assuming the student is enrolled at least half-time and meets the criteria for federal aid. Students are expected to have exhausted all of their federal loan options before applying for a private loan.

  • 贷款限制

    学生必须是.S. Citizens or Eligible Non-Citizens and be enrolled at least half-time. A co-borrower is required for a student who does not have established credit or who has a low credit score. Inter国家 students may borrow an alternative loan with a creditworthy co-borrower who is a U.S. 公民或符合条件的非公民.
