Other Loan Options

Please be advised that private alternative loans should be utilized only after all other financial aid resources have been exhausted. Private loan interest rates are variable and are often based on credit plus an index such as PRIME or LIBOR. This means the interest rate on your loan could be something like PRIME +1%, PRIME +6% or PRIME + 9% depending on your credit. Currently PRIME is 3.25%, which is the lowest it has been in ten years. Two years ago in May of 2007, PRIME was 9.25%. Hypothetically, if you qualified for a private loan with an interest rate of PRIME +6%, your current interest rate would be 9.25%. If PRIME rises again to what it was two years ago (8.25%) your interest rate would also rise to 14.25%.

While the example above is hypothetical and not based on any particular lender, it is important to acknowledge that private loans have the potential to yield very high interest rates which will affect your monthly payments and the amount of interest you will pay over the life of the loan.
