Loans
Loans may be offered to you as part of your financial aid award. They must be paid back with interest and can come from the federal government or from private sources such as banks or financial institutions. Federal loans may be offered with lower interest rates and have more flexible repayment options. Evaluate your aid offer carefully. You are strongly encouraged to only borrow the amount you need.

Lender information is provided as a courtesy and in no way should it be interpreted as a requirement to use one of the listed lenders. NDSU will process loans from any lender that participates in any educational loan programs.
The Higher Education Opportunity Act requires that an institution that participates in any federal loan programs must develop a Code of Conduct with respect to such loans.
