Guidance & applying
Center for Allied Health Education does not endorse or recommend one lender over another, and individuals are free to choose which lender they prefer. Students and parents should fully exhaust their eligibility for federal grants and loans before applying for a private loan. We encourage individuals to compare the terms of the loans before choosing a lender. See also CAHE's Institutional Code of Conduct for Education Loans.
