Loans
Federal students loans are available to help students meet their financial needs. Loans must be repaid according to the schedule of repayment for each type of loan. The FAFSA form must be completed for students to be eligible for student loans. We also offer a variety of Alternative loans for students who still need to meet financial needs. There are also parent loans available for parents of dependent students. Students who borrow for the first time will be required to complete a Master Promissory Note and Entrance Counseling online. This must be completed before the students loan can disbursed onto the student’s account.
