Private Loans

The College encourages its students to exhaust their federal student aid options before seeking private loans. However, students and parents who do not qualify for Title IV funds or who need additional funds to cover educational expenses beyond what is covered by Title IV funds may apply for private loans through the lender of their choice.  Currently, students can apply for Sallie Mae Smart Option loan if they are eligible. To qualify, a student generally must be a US citizen, a US national, or a permanent resident and must be creditworthy.  If the student has no credit history, he or she may still qualify for a loan by applying with a creditworthy co-borrower.

Angeles College keeps its undergraduate tuition rates affordable. Tuition is established annually, generally in the beginning of each year prior to the beginning of the academic year.

Military Aid Programs

Fortunately, there are many military aid programs designed specifically to assist service members and their dependents with education expenses – most administered by the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs in conjunction with the various branches of the armed services. These military aid programs, along with traditional sources of federal and state student aid, can cover up to 100% of tuition and eligible education-related expenses, thereby helping veterans, active-duty service members and their dependents achieve their higher education goals.
