Alternative Loans at MWCC

Alternative loans (also called private loans) are different from federal student loans in that they are not guaranteed by the federal government and require a credit check and often a co-signer. Alternative loans should be used as a last resort after exploring all other forms of financial aid. Some programs such as noncredit programs are ineligible for financial aid.

To apply, contact the lender(s) below. Terms and condition vary significantly. Carefully consider and compare the following: interest rate, fees, eligibility requirements, repayment and deferment options. You can obtain all of this information via the websites or phone numbers below.
