Alternative (NON-FEDERAL) student loans are available for students enrolled in the MMM program. Alternative loans are loans extended to students by private lending institutions on the basis of creditworthiness. Applications are available through many banks and lenders; the college, in most cases, must certify your eligibility. A cosigner is required in some cases. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.
Students may choose any participating lender for their education loans.
