Why Private
Student Loans

When it comes to college financing, often the sticker price is one thing, but the actual cost of education is something different.

Depending on the aid offered, students can expect to receive anywhere from a full scholarship to not being offered any financial assistance. In most cases the cost of education lies somewhere in the middle once family income, assets, and other factors have been taken into account.

The amount remaining after financial aid has been factored in is what must be paid to the school, an amount that can vary each academic year. This gap is what often prompts families to apply for private student loans.

Private student loans can close the gap and help students and families pay for college. Private student loans have several advantages to them including:

  • Quick approval process:
    In as little as five business days, a loan approval can be given with the funds made available directly to the student. With government student loans, processing is completed through the college.
  • More money:
    Usually, you can borrow more money privately than you can receive through government sources. The loan amount is usually capped at $45,000 annually.
  • More options:
    Students can use private student loans to pay for a laptop computer and other education-related expenses.
  • No government forms:
    A private student loan is just that – an agreement between you and a private lender. No government paperwork is filed because the funding is strictly private.
