Private/Alternative Loan Programs
General Loan Information
Non-federal, private, alternative loans are credit-based loans that can be used to substitute for, or supplement any federal funds being received. For example, if any scholarship and/or federal aid were not sufficient to meet the full cost of attendance, a private loan might be used to provide total aid equal to the cost of attendance.
The terms, interest rates, index used to calculate interest rate, and minimums and maximum amount of loans, vary by lender.
The following is a list of Tulane's streamlined lenders. It is your decision to determine which lender best fits your needs. We suggest that you review a lender's specific loan terms, interest rate and borrower benefits before making your selection. You should use the following links to investigate the various lenders. If you are borrowing from a Tulane streamlined lender for a Federal Stafford loan, we strongly recommend that you select the same lender for your private, alternative loan borrowing.
When applying for loans, you will be given the opportunity to select which school you are attending. There are three (3) Tulane options to choose from; be sure to select Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.
Access Group, Nellie Mae, THE and Wachovia have withdrawn their private loan programs.
