Private Student Loans - Sallie Mae

Private Loan

Private loan is a credit based loan offered by banks, lending institution or credit unions to help families to bridge the gap between the financial aid package they receive and the total cost of college. These loans are borrowed by the students and sometimes require a credit-worthy co-signer. Private loan may have fixed or variable rates, and may accrue interest while you are enrolled in school or require repayment while you are still in college.

Tips and Recommendations

  1. Before considering a private loan, make sure all federal, state and institutional financial resources have been exhausted.
  2. Compare federal and private loans at the Federal Student Aid website .
  3. Borrow only the minimum amount needed for the upcoming school year , minus scholarships, grants, federal student loans, family contribution from income and savings, and any other aid sources.

Choosing a private lender loan

While federal student loans should be your first choice, some students also choose to borrow from private lenders. No matter what you choose, we highly recommend you compare and research your options ahead of time to find the best fit for you and your family.
