Credit-Based Loans

After determining whether you qualify for government-sponsored student loans, which generally offer more favorable terms, you may want to consider credit-based loans to help pay direct and indirect college expenses. On an annual basis, Boston University invites private lenders to provide information about their products through a Request for Information (RFI) process. The University reviewed the information provided by every lender who submitted information and, based on the information submitted, identified the following loan products as having competitive rates, customer service and borrower benefits. For more information please explore options for private loans.

Tuition Payment Plan

The Payment Plan allows you to budget charged expenses monthly. Because it is not a loan and no interest is charged, the total cost is significantly lower than you would incur with a loan.

For more detailed information about the plan and how to apply, please refer to this page.

Loan Repayment

Federal, state, and private education loans have different repayment plans and consolidation options. Use the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Student Debt Repayment Assistant which will guide you through your federal, state and private loan repayment options. Use TISLA (The Institute of Student Loan Advisors) for free expert student loan repayment advice and dispute resolution.
