Private Education Loans
Some lenders offer private, “alternative”, loans to students to help cover educational costs. These loans
generally
require the borrower to have good credit or a credit-worthy cosigner. Eligibility requirements,
application
procedures, fees, interest rates, finance charges, and repayment terms, and deferment options may vary
from lender
to lender.
The terms and conditions of a Federal Direct loan or Federal Direct PLUS loan may be more favorable than
the
provisions of private education loans so families are encouraged to utilize the Federal Direct Loan and
the Federal
Direct PLUS Loan before considering an alternative loan.
Please review this information about the differences between federal and private student
loans.
Southeast Community College has no preferred lender arrangements regarding private education loans.
College Financing Plan
The College Financing Plan is a consumer tool provided through the U.S. Department of Education and
designed to
simplify information students receive regarding costs and financial aid. The student can then make
informed
decisions about which school to attend. Students who have applied to SCC can access their individual
College
Financing Plan in Webadvisor for Students on The Hub after the students complete the Free Application
for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) and have been awarded. Students will need to view their award notification on their
account and
either accept or decline their financial aid.
Paying for College
The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau’s Paying for College website provides information about
paying for
college and a tool to compare financial aid offers.

The Net Price Calculator gives students an estimate of a college’s costs. SCC's Net Price Calculator is available here.
