Loans

Educational Loans

Different from a grant or scholarship, a loan is money borrowed from the federal government or a private source like a bank or financial institution, and it must be paid back with interest. Eligibility, terms and interest rates vary based on the loan type. Loans can help fund undergraduate, graduate or professional education.

Federal Loans

Federal Direct Loans are issued directly from the U.S. Department of Education and are awarded as part of your total award package. 

Other Loans

Creighton offers institutional loans, and there are also non-federal, private loans provided by commercial lenders.
