Educational/Personal Loans
Sometimes you need to obtain loans that the Financial Aid Office cannot certify, due either to less-than-half-time enrollment, or a desire to borrow beyond the school's allowable cost of education. Such a loan comes with a higher pricetag than a typical private education loan, but the benefit lies in not having to have the request processed by the Law School.
While the Law School strongly urges you to live within the student budget and borrow only what you need, you may avail yourself of these loans as a last resort. The Law School Financial Aid Office cannot have any knowledge of, or participation in, your obtaining such a loan, or your eligibility for your other aid and loans will be compromised. (See below.)
