    Private Education Loan Disclosures

    Free or lower-cost Title IV federal, state or school student financial aid may be available in place of or in addition to a private education loan. The terms and conditions for federal loans may be more favorable than private loans. To apply for Title IV federal grants, loans and work study, submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available at www.studentaid.gov, or by calling 1-800-4-FED-AID, or from the school's financial aid office. A private education loan may reduce eligibility for free or lower-cost federal, state or school student financial aid. You are strongly encouraged to pursue the availability of free or lower-cost financial aid with the school's financial aid office.
