If you have a financial need after all Federal, State and Institutional aid that you are eligible for has been awarded and accepted, you can apply for a private student loan. By Federal Regulation, Maria College is not allowed to direct you in your search for private student loan programs. New York State Higher Education Services Corporation has a comparison tool that you may find useful.

Do not hesitate to contact the Office of Financial Aid if you have any questions.
