Private Loan Information

Lanier Technical College does not currently participate in any federal student or parent loan programs (e.g. Direct Loans, Stafford). Any student loan for which a student wishes to apply must be a private student loan.

Private loans should be used as a last resort to pay for educational expenses. It is not our policy/recommendation to encourage students to incur additional debt for their college education unless all other sources of aid (grants/scholarships) have been exhausted. Applicants must complete a current year FAFSA and have existing unmet need after the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and anticipated financial aid is subtracted from the student’s Cost of Attendance.

Lanier Technical College does not support or endorse any specific lender or student loan program. Students may search out and apply to the private lender of their choice.
