Alternative Loans

Alternative loans are available to help students meet educational costs not covered by federal, state, institutional or personal resources. These loans are provided by private lending institutions, as opposed to the federal government and require a credit check, a low debt-to-income ratio and typically a co-signer. If you decide to take out an alternative loan please select from our list of alternative lenders. A comparison chart complete with borrower benefits is available in order to help you select a lender that will best suit your needs. Please be aware that most alternative loan repayments typically begin within 60 days of first disbursement. The amount of your alternative loan will be reflected on your student billing statement from Kuyper College's Business Office. It is important to note that you should borrow enough to cover your school's balance for the entire academic year (fall and winter semester). Most alternative loans require reapplication and a new promissory note each year.
