Private/Alternative Loans
Texas Seminary Christian University does not have a list of preferred private loan lenders. Students that have exhausted all grant, scholarship and federal loan options can consider applying for a private/alternative loan. These outside loans are applied for directly from the lender by a student or parent. Borrowers must be credit worthy or provide a co-signer. Click here to view a list of some lenders that offer private education loans. This list is not given to limit your choices or to suggest that you take a loan from one of these lenders. It is only provided as a way to help you get started should you decide to pursue a private loan. You are free to choose any private lender that you would like to work with.
Private lenders should ask you to complete a Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification. You can access that self-certification form by clicking here .
