Students will need to apply directly with the lender of their choice. Most students will require a credit worthy co-signer for the loan application. Interest rates for loans are determined by the lender and are based on the student and co-signers’ credit worthiness. The Office of Scholarships and Financial does not have knowledge of the interest that is charged for the private loan, please review the information prior to applying. Commonly used lenders are Sallie Mae, Discover Student Loans, College Foundation, and Navy Federal.

The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid requires that you complete our Alternative Loan Request Form. Please email or contact the office via phone, or in person to obtain the Alternative Loan Request Form.

All scholarship award notifications can be received via email, fax, in-person, or mailed to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. Once the office receives your award, it will be added to your Financial Aid award package. To view the award, please log into your Banner Rams Account and view the scholarship(s) under the “Resource” Tab. Student Accounts will use this as a form of pending payment until the university receives the actual funds.
