These "non-need-based" loans are available to student borrowers. The interest rate is variable. Interest accrues while you are in school. Repayment of the loan begins six months after you leave school or drop below half-time enrollment. Students may borrow annually up to the total cost of attendance, less financial aid. Most require the student to be a degree seeking student and registered for at least half-time study. However, some of the Continuing Education Loans can be used for less than part-time study and non-matriculated status. To find out more information about these types of loans and apply, please go to our Preferred Private Loan Lender list. You will be able to compare interest rates, fees and other incentives that lenders provide.
