Alternative/Private Loan Programs

We strongly encourages you to pursue all state, federal, and institutional aid available to you first in financing your New England College education.  If you need additional financing after exhausting these sources or if you do not qualify for federal loans there are several lenders who offer alternative/private education loans.   The terms and conditions of private loans may be less favorable than federal loans.  Approvals of private loans are typically based on your credit rating and debt-to-income ratio and may require a co-signer.

New England College does not maintain a preferred lender list.  The below list represents the private lender programs used by our students during the previous school year.  New England College will process your financing options from any participating lender program.

 
We encourage you to thoroughly research lenders to ensure you receive the best rates and services that meet your needs.  Make sure to compare borrower benefits ranging from origination and default fees that can reduce the initial cost of the loan as well as benefits to save money during repayment such as auto-debit interest rate reductions.  Interest rates are typically variable, which means they can change monthly and rates vary amongst private lenders.  For current Prime and London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) information, please go to www.bankrate.com.
