Graduate Certificate Program Funding Options
The Panther Payment Plan and several financing options are available to those who qualify. Some lenders offer private student loans for students enrolled in certificate programs.
Private Loans
Private Loan Providers are loans contracted with private lending companies directly by the borrower.
Florida Tech works with FASTChoice to make finding a private loan provider as simple as possible. The lenders listed on FASTChoice are lenders that have previously made private education loans to our students and have met our university’s strict criteria.
Florida Tech’s Loan Options page is reviewed annually. Note that at least two lenders will always be presented to you. You are free to choose any lender, including those not presented. Please note that private education loans do not carry a federal guarantee, and are considered financial aid because Florida Tech must certify three things to the lender:
- Student is accepted at Florida Tech
- Student is enrolled in courses
- Borrowed amount is within the student's Cost of Attendance less any other financial aid
Our officials are prohibited from accepting any financial or other benefits in exchange for displaying lenders and loan options in FASTChoice.
