Apply for a SunTrust Academic Answer® loan.*

Private loans — also called alternative loans — can help you fill the gap when federal loans, scholarships, grants and work-study programs don't quite meet your financial need.

Private education loans are different from the federal education loans, such as Federal Stafford, Parent PLUS and Grad PLUS, because private loans are not guaranteed by the federal government. Credit guidelines apply in determining your eligibility for private loans. For more information on the difference between private and federal education loans view our loan comparison chart.
