Private Alternative Loans
As of February 14, 2010, regulations mandate all new private loan application will require additional certifications (Title X of the Higher Education Opportunity Act). This new regulation mandates self-certification and a waiting period that may lengthen the process (the average processing time is 3-6 weeks). Once the loan is approved and a final self-certification is received by the lender, funds will be disbursed to the school after an 8 day waiting period. Please apply early if you are choosing this option.
