Private Lending for Higher Education

Welcome to FastChoice

Doane University encourages families to exhaust all of their Federal financial aid options before considering a private/alternative education loan. Students and parents are free to seek educational loans through any lender they choose. FastChoice helps you to determine the right loan for you and your family. Private/Alternative education loans are not need-based loans; they are based on credit-worthiness. Most students will need a creditworthy co-signer (such as a parent or relative) in order to be approved for an alternative loan.
