PRIVATE LOANS

Students and parents have the option to borrow private loans directly from lenders. There are many options available to you. It is important to note that all loans are not equal. Pay special attention to interest rates, fees, credit scoring and co-signing. The JCU Financial Aid Office has created an on-line list to assist you in reviewing your loan options.

Before you look at private loans, make sure that you have exhausted all possibilities for federal and state financial aid programs. Exploring your options now, may save you time and money in the future. If you have specific questions or concerns regarding private loans, we suggest you contact the lender directly. Please feel free to contact JCU Office of Financial Aid with any general questions at 216-397-4248 or jcuofa@jcu.edu .
