Private Alternative Loan Programs
Private alternative loan programs are designed to provide students and parents with tuition assistance beyond what federal financial aid and can offer. Loan applicants are evaluated based on their credit history and other factors. The loan interest rate and fees will vary depending on the applicant's credit history. These loans are currently offered by SLM Financial Corporation, a subsidiary of Sallie Mae and CitiAssist Loans from Citibank.
