We recognize that many of you rely on a variety of resources, such as loans, to assist with paying for your education. As you consider the available loan options, keep in mind that some loans are costlier than others. We recommend that you consider federal loans first as they offer a fixed interest rate and generally have the best terms and conditions. See more loan options on our loan information page. When reviewing your loan options, pay particular attention to the interest rate, fees, and repayment terms and incentives for each loan before making your decision.

Private Loan Options

Medicine Private Educational Loans

Amount Varies

Loan

Private loans are available through a limited number of education lenders to assist students when federal loans are not an option. These unsecured loans can be more costly as federal loans may offer more favorable terms and conditions. Interest rates are typically variable and may be tied to the prime rate, LIBOR rate, or treasury bill rate. Borrower eligibility, co-signer requirements, interest rates, maximum loan levels, and repayment options vary according to the program. These loans are based on creditworthiness, which is based on the applicant’s credit history.
