When applying, your loan lender will likely require a loan certification to verify enrollment and cost of attendance. This process usually takes 10 to 14 business days but can take longer during peak times, and certified loans will only disburse once all documents have been received by your lender. We encourage you to consider all financial options prior to applying for private loans.
