We encourage you to consider all options when choosing a private loan. It is important to research and compare the characteristics of each loan to find the best possible loan for your needs. If you anticipate continuing your studies beyond your current program, pay particular attention to deferment options. Be an informed consumer. Here are some questions you should consider:

1. How much can I borrow?

2. What fees are associated with the loan?

3. What is the interest rate on the loan?

4. How is the interest rate calculated?

5. What are the terms of repayment?

6. How much will my payments be if I borrow $x?

7. Do I need a co-signer?
