Welcome to the Alternative Loans page for
Baptist College of Health Sciences
Alternative Loans are offered by private lending institutions and are not guaranteed by the federal government. These funds are available to credit and non-credit students who may not be eligible for federal financial aid or who may need to bridge the gap between the actual cost of education and their federal financial aid. The lender will interpret credit history and other determining factors to see if the student is eligible. This list describes alternative educational loans, offered by private lending institutions.
