Loans for Continuing Education

Student Loans
Today, over 65% of students utilize loans. 1 A student loan can be either a federal loan (i.e, Stafford & Perkins loans) or a private loan. These loans can be targeted towards a student or parent and require a separate application process for each type of loan. The private student loans offered through Fondo Futuro have competitive interest rates and make it easier to get the extra money you need for college expenses not covered by other forms of financial aid.

Federal Stafford Loans
Federal Stafford Loans are either subsidized, meaning the government makes all interest payments while the student is enrolled in school, or unsubsidized, meaning the student makes interest payments while enrolled in school or defers payment until graduation. Students must be able to demonstrate financial need to qualify for a subsidized Stafford loan, but all students regardless of their need are eligible for an unsubsidized Stafford loan.

Private Continuing Education Student Loans
For students attending less than half time and students in certificate or technical training programs, a Private Continuing Education Student loan truly makes an education possible! Private Continuing Education Student Loans offer highly competitive interest rates and are a great way to meet the full cost of an education while supplementing a Federal Stafford Loan. These loans are similar to private undergraduate student loans, but are specifically tailored to meet the demands of today’s student attending less than half time and students enrolled in certificate and technical training programs.
