Private Loans

Private student loans are different from federal student loans in that they are not guaranteed by the Federal government, require a credit check, and often require a co-signer. Terms and conditions vary significantly by lender. Carefully consider your needs, and select a loan product that best meets your individual situation.

The following list of private loan products offers a variety of loan options with competitive interest rates. Students, however, are free to borrow from any lender, even if they are not listed here. Columbus Technical College does not endorse or support any specific lender or student loan program/product.

• Sallie Mae Smart Loan - see Columbus Technical College website - Financial Aid Link
• Regions Bank - see Columbus Technical College website - Financial Aid Link

If you choose a loan option that is not listed, please contact the lender directly to determine the application process.

Columbus Technical College does not participate in the Federal Stafford Student Loan program or the Federal Parent PLUS Loan program.
