Non Traditional Student Loans

As the value of a college degree increases, more and more adults are going back to college. Indeed, 90 million individuals participate in some type of adult education every year^a and many colleges have structured programs specific to adult learners. A surprising 40% of college students in the United States are 25 years of age or older.

As a result, non-traditional students are looking for non-traditional student loans to help them pay their bills. In some cases, non-traditional students may be able to borrow from the federal Stafford loan program. Be sure to check with your school’s financial aid office to determine if you can use a Stafford loan to pay for your non-traditional education. If you need additional financing support to supplement your Stafford loan, consider a private student loan.
