Private education loans are privately loaned from lenders outside of federal loan borrowing. Private or alternative loans require a separate application, credit check, multiple disclosures, and a self-certification form. This is performed each time you borrow a new loan period. MTSA encourages serious and deliberate consideration before making any borrowing decision. Examine all options. The Office of Financial Aid will not certify any loan application without the student attending an entrance orientation and any amount that exceeds the cost of attending. It is the student’s responsibility to reach out to the financial aid office, after the student is admitted, to schedule their orientation by contacting finaid@mtsa.edu.
MTSA has no preferred lender list or arrangement and does not endorse any loan product or service. Students may apply directly with any lender that they choose.
To apply for student loans:
- Students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (fafsa.gov)
- Email the Office of Financial Aid for an orientation, finaid@mtsa.edu.
