Applying for Loans

Most families have two major needs when considering finance options for a college education: first, obtaining manageable monthly payments, and second, minimizing the total cost of education.  To meet both of these goals we recommend the following:

  • Reduce your need to borrow by paying as much as you can directly to Emerson College or through the TuitionPay monthly payment plan.
  • Investigate the terms of available loan programs if you decide to borrow.
  • Begin with an equal combination of loan and payment plan options to meet the financed amount.
  • Determine what you can afford.  If you can pay more monthly then increase the TuitionPay payment plan.  If you need smaller monthly payments then increase the loan(s).

This website includes information on Emerson College's recommended lenders.  Emerson follows an industry standard code of conduct when selecting and working with lenders.  The recommended lenders were chosen because of their rates, available borrower benefits, and demonstrated customer service and processing abilities.  Students and parents have the right to choose their own lenders for their educational borrowing.  Please contact the Student Service Center at 617.824.8655 if you have questions about the programs Emerson recommends.
