Private Student Loans

Private Student Loans (also known as alternative loans) are offered by many lending institutions and are designed to help fund educational expenses not met by other means.  Private Student Loans are credit based, may require a co-signer and have varying interest rates depending on the lender.  Private Student Loans should be considered only after a student has exhausted grant and scholarship options.

Patrick & Henry Community College students have used a variety of lending institutions for obtaining additional funding. Our college does not provide a preferred lenders list, and students should carefully research lending options.  Once a student has completed the information needed by the lender, the Financial Aid Office will receive information by the lender to certify the loan. Certification of a loan confirms a student’s academic level, enrollment, and projected term of graduation.
