Private Loans

A private loan, provided by a non-federal lender, is typically in the student's name and often requires a cosigner.

Undergraduate students classified as Independent on their FAFSA may opt for this type of loan if they need to borrow more than the limits set by the Subsidized/Unsubsidized Direct Loan program.

There are only a few lenders still offering educational loans for students attending schools outside the US. Below is a list of lenders with whom the University of Glasgow has collaborated. Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and the University does not endorse or recommend any specific lender.

If you encounter a lender not listed below, ensure they are willing to work with foreign schools outside the USA before proceeding. Both the student and the lender should then contact us.
