Private (Alternative) Educational Loans

Private student loans offered by banks and financial institutions are based on your credit profile. Your credit — and your cosigner's credit — are evaluated, along with other information provided on your application. Applying for a private student loan with a creditworthy cosigner may increase your chances for approval and may help get you a better rate since many students haven't had time to build up their own credit.
