K-12 Loans as Supplements for Tuition Assistance for Private Schools

If you’re looking for help paying for tuition for private school, there may be various forms of scholarship, governmental, and private sources available to you. Your school’s website may have suggestions of where to look.
 
If you’re unable to secure adequate funding, a K-12 loan can be a tuition-funding alternative. You can use the loan to make up the difference that your child’s tuition assistance won’t cover, or you can pay for tuition directly with the loan.
