Long-Term University Loan
The Long-Term University Loan is designed for students whose own resources and those of their parents, guardians, or spouses are not sufficient to finance all of their educational costs of attendance. Students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress for financial aid eligibility to receive this loan. Students are encouraged to apply for Federal Direct Loans and Perkins Loans before applying for a Long-Term University Loan.
Before you can be considered for this loan, a member of the financial aid staff must recommend the loan and sign your application.
