an Undergraduate Private Loan ApplicationImportant Information:
Since federal student loans generally offer more attractive terms than private student loans, you should always use your federal financing options first. You should only consider taking out a private student loan if you find that, even after your federal loans and grants, your school costs still exceed your available scholarships and financial aid. In that case, a private student loan could provide the remaining money you need.
