Private or Alternative Loans

After exhausting all other financial resources, students and families may choose to apply for a private loan (also known as an alternative loan) through the lender of their choice. These loans may have either a fixed or variable rate, are in the name of the student, and typically require a creditworthy cosigner. The interest rate varies by lender and credit score.

Students may borrow up to a maximum of the cost of attendance minus financial aid, as determined by Roberts Wesleyan University. All private/alternative loans must be certified by Roberts Wesleyan University Office of Financial Aid.
