Alternative Loans

Alternative Loans can be used to fill the gap between your financial resources, the Federal Loans and the overall cost of attendance. Eligibility for these loans is based on your overall cost of attendance minus other financial aid. These loans are not need-based and require a credit check for approval. Private loans have variable interest rates, origination fees, etc.

Bar Study Loans can be used to help finance bar exam costs, as well as living expenses incurred while studying to take the bar exam. These loans require a credit check and at least half-time enrollment in the final year of study or have graduated within the last 12 months.

Borrowers are able to choose the alternative loan or bar study loan program with their lender of choice. We have provided a link with several lenders that have supplied general information about their loan programs to get you started. Please review the information carefully and check with other lenders for available alternative loan options.
