Private Loan Programs

Private loans are available to help bridge the gap between the cost of education and the amount of financial aid received. Before applying for a private loan, be sure you have exhausted your eligibility for other federal loans (Stafford Loan for example.)

To view options for some private loans and to apply, please click on the appropriate link.  (This will take you to a website called "Fast Choice"  which will lead you through the process of selecting a lender and applying for the loan.)  

REMEMBER TO CLICK ON THE "PRIVATE" TAB WHEN CHOOSING A LENDER.

It is the responsibility of students and families to choose a student loan provider for their Federal Stafford, Federal PLUS, and private loan funding.  The CSB/SJU lender list is provided as a service to families and is intended to assist students and parents in selecting a lender.  It also informs families that various borrower benefits are available from student loan providers. 

 The lenders on the CSB/SJU list offer a combination of price, access to funds, and service that has proven to be very satisfactory to CSB/SJU students and parents. We will, however, work with any lender a student chooses. 

CSB/SJU reviews its lender list each year to be sure the best loan options are being made available to our students and families.  This exercise will involve an analysis of each lender’s benefits and include consideration of the percentage of borrowers who actually receive such benefits.

 CSB/SJU does not receive or accept anything of value from any lending institution in exchange for an advantage sought by the lender or in exchange for appearing on our lender list.
