 If you're an adult attending college and continuing your education, you are in the fastest growing segment of the student population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of October 2000, approximately 40% of college students were at least 25 years of age.
You may be starting your college education, returning to complete an undergraduate degree, or working toward another degree or an advanced degree. You may even be taking classes to further your career or for personal enrichment.
As an adult with adult responsibilities (often working with a family), paying for college can be a challenge. Whether you are attending at least half time, in an accelerated program, or just taking a class or two, consumer education loans (also referred to as private or alternative loans) can help.
Consumer continuing education loans are credit-based and do not require financial aid forms. They can be used for education-related expenses such as laptop computer, tuition, books, fees, supplies, and more. Some loans allow for purchasing a laptop computer or paying for previous school fees. If your company provides tuition reimbursement after courses are completed, a consumer continuing education loan can help you finance your education until you receive reimbursement.
