While it is everyone’s hope that the balance can be covered by funds you and your family have saved for college or from additional outside scholarships you may receive, we understand that you may need other options to help cover some or all of the balance due. These options may include:
- Federal Direct Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) – This loan program enables parents to borrow the balance due plus the cost of books, supplies and other expenses (as defined by the College, based on federal guidelines). All parents and stepparents are eligible regardless of income as long as they have a good credit history.
- Alternative Student Loans – Private loans are available for students to use to cover the balance due. Most require a co-signer with a good credit history. Private educational loan interest and repayment benefits differ. Use the private loan as your last option, and research and compare private loan programs before you make your final decision. Contact the Financial Aid office if you have questions.
