Isothermal Community College encourages students to complete the FAFSA prior to considering alternative, private educational loans to ensure all sources of grant aid have been explored and exhausted first. ICC does not have a preferred lender listing. If a student is considering an alternative or private loan, they should first research eligibility, loan limits, interest rates, fees, repayment, and customer service options.
Students who are seeking private loans should request a Truth-in-Lending Statement from the lender.
Please note that the information listed above is provided to students as a basic guideline. The information is very general in nature and the Financial Aid Office should be consulted for further details, rules, and regulations. All information contained in this section is subject to change.
