Students in certificate and/or non-degree programs may be eligible for alternative student loans, arranged between the student and a lender of his/her choosing, which are not federally subsidized. These loans are similar to other consumer loans in that the lender will base eligibility on credit history and monthly debt to income ratio. Factors to consider include:

• Interest rate
• Payment schedule (length, monthly amount)
• Total repayment amount over the life of the loan
• Penalties for missing monthly payments
• Options for loan consolidation

One example of a lender that you may use (or consider for comparison against your chosen lender) is Sallie Mae. Another useful resource website that provides unbiased research is ELMSelect.

Molloy University Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies neither endorses nor recommends any lender.
