Private Alternative Loans

 Helpful Hints: Financing your Education at Bay State College

 As students determine the best way to finance their education, they should consider the full range of student financial aid options available. Private loans should be explored only after exhausting all other areas of financial assistance.  Prior to exploring private loans, we strongly encourage you to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, (FAFSA).  The FAFSA is used to determine your eligibility for Federal, State and Institutional scholarships, grants and student loans.  Bay State College has experienced Tuition Planners and Financial Aid Counselors available throughout your education to assist you in securing the best financial assistance to meet your individual needs.

If you would like to pursue additional funding through private educational loans, the following is a summary of our preferred lenders.  These loan options are preferred due to their proven customer service, ease of application and timely delivery of funds.  Additionally, we find the interest rates and repayment options favorable as opposed to other loan programs.  Ultimately the decision is yours and you are free to explore other options if desired.     

Bay State College’s commitment to our students does not end when you walk out our doors.  Our Financial Aid Counselor’s will always be available to assist you in the future with repayment options and loan management.
