Alternative Private Lenders for American Students

Students are strongly encouraged to explore their eligibility for U.S. Federal Student Aid before considering a private education loan. The terms and conditions of federal student loans may be more favourable than those available through private lenders. Students may wish to consider private education loans after their available Direct Loan funding has been maximized. Private lenders may require a co-signer.

Only a limited number of private lenders provide education loans to students attending institutions outside of the United States.

The University of Windsor does not recommend or endorse any particular private lender and is not affiliated with the lenders identified below. The lenders are provided for informational purposes only. Students are encouraged to independently research available lenders and compare interest rates, fees, repayment terms, eligibility requirements and other loan conditions before making a borrowing decision.

The lenders listed below are private lenders known to have provided education loans to eligible students attending the University of Windsor. Inclusion on this list does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by the University.

Students are not required to use a lender listed on this page. The University of Windsor will work with another private education lender selected by a student provided the lender offers education loans to students attending a post-secondary institution outside of the United States and the loan can be certified by the University.

The maximum amount that may be certified for a private education loan is generally limited to the student's Cost of Attendance, less other financial assistance received.
