Naropa University awards educational loans primarily from the Direct federal student loan program. Some lenders advertise private loans that “mimic” the federal student loan program, but which differ in important ways. Private student loans:

  • Cannot be included in a federal consolidation loan
  • Are not eligible for income-driven repayment plans
  • Are not eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness
  • Result in an additional monthly student loan payment for the borrower

Aid from all sources cannot exceed a student’s estimated cost of attendance. Please send an email to finaid@naropa.edu with the words “Private Loan” in the subject line if you would like to start the process of requesting the inclusion of a private loan in your financial aid package.

Naropa University does not endorse or promote any private loan program or lender. Borrowers are encouraged to review federal student loan options before considering private loans since federal loans will generally have more favorable terms and conditions.

Please review Federal versus Private Loans for additional information.
