Alternative loans are distributed by private lenders.
These lenders include banks, credit unions and private lending companies (not
loans from the government). An alternative loan may provide enough funds
to assist you in paying for college when scholarships and federal aid aren't
enough. However, alternative loans may
have a substantially higher interest rate, so you may want to consider this option only after
exhausting all other financial aid options such as a PLUS
Loan. Each loan may offer different options in interest rate,
repayment, etc.
