Private Loans

You should apply for all the financial assistance you’re eligible for,  scholarships, grants, and federal loans, before considering a private, alternative, or non-federal loan. Molloy encourages our students to exhaust all federal loans before looking at private loan options. Federal loans may be less costly than private loans

Private loans could come from a bank or any other education loan provider. Usually, interest rates, terms, conditions, and eligibility requirements will vary with private loans. Some private loans do not offer full deferment options. Some private lenders may require minimum monthly payments while you are in school. They may also consider federal education loan borrowing in determining the amount of annual as well as aggregate limits you may borrow.

Molloy University recommends that you review borrowing options through the federal aid programs first and then evaluate the alternative loan options available. Before taking on an alternative loan, considering your educational investment at Molloy University, as well as your long-term financial commitments.
