DECEMBER 5, 2008

 

Click here to review the difference between the PLUS Loan and Alternative Loans.

Alternative loans provide a source for financing costs of your education not covered by other forms of financial aid. 

These loans may require an established credit history or a co-signer. Students considering ways to finance their education should first apply for financial aid through Radford University. Those students who do not receive sufficient funding for the cost of attendance should then consider alternative financing. 

Those considering this type of funding should compare all loan programs and determine which one is best for them. This brochure provides a comparison for students and their families. The information is subject to change within the school year. 

To help determine the amount that you may need to borrow, you may use the calculators that are on the cost of attendance page.

Remember, students may borrow no more than the cost of attendance as calculated by the school. 

Loan applications and information may be obtained from the lender.

Telephone numbers are included on the alternative loan chart.

You should send your completed loan application to the Financial Aid Office at Radford University at the following address: 

    Financial Aid Office
    Radford University
    Box 6905
    Radford VA, 24142
    (540) 831-5408
    FAX (540) 831-5138
Applicants are not required to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid in order to receive an alternative loan. However, if you have not filed a FAFSA, you will need to complete a Radford University Financial Aid Information Sheet. This may be obtained from this web site or you may contact the Financial Aid Office at (540) 831-5408.
