Private Lending for Higher Education

Welcome to FastChoice

Welcome to FASTChoice, one of many ways to research and apply for private student loans. Private Student Loans, also called Alternative Loans, are a last resource for students who are not eligible for other financial aid or who may need additional funds to meet education expenses. Private loans should be considered only when all other options have been exhausted, including federal student loans or other federal financial aid for which you might qualify. The terms and conditions of alternative loans vary from lender to lender and are typically less favorable than Title IV federal student loans. You can use this tool to research and apply for a private student loan. You may also seek loan options through Banks, Credit Unions, and other various Student Loan Servicers directly.
