Private Loans

Private/Alternative loans are based on credit. A co-signer may be required. Many students find that Private/Alternative Loans are beneficial in assisting them in budgeting their expenses out over an extended period of time. These loans require completing a separate loan application available from the lender. All lenders reserve the right to make changes to interest rates and other criteria without notification to Golden Gate University. It is highly recommended that students visit each website to validate the Lender List information. Students should exhaust all federal student loan options before investigating private student loans, which can be more costly to you over time. Private/Alternative student loans are designed to supplement federal loan programs and other aid you receive. If you are a GGU student, the Financial Aid Office will be able to check on your federal student loan eligibility for you. If you are a graduate student, we recommend that you compare interest rates, deferments options, repayment time frame as well as cosigner criteria.
