Loans are another form of financial aid available to undergraduate students. They differ from grants and scholarships primarily in that they must be repaid to a lender. Eligibility for the variety of loans available may be determined by need and credit worthiness.
Students are advised to consider their loan options alongside their intended professional future and expected post-graduation income prior to accepting loan aid. The Undergraduate Loan Debt report, as required by California Assembly Bill 721, is available here.
Applying for Loans
In the interest of securing optimal interest rates and other terms and conditions, LMU Financial Aid recommends that students and their parent(s) apply for federal, state, and institutional loans before applying for private or alternative loans. The implications of accepting loan aid should be fully understood by students and their parents and many programs require a loan counseling session prior to funding disbursement.
