Applying for Additional Assistance

If you require more financial assistance that appears on your award letter, you may apply for additional student loans from private student loan programs.  The Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid will not recommend, and will not refer students to, any specific private student loan program.

Many private student loan programs have ceased operations over the last two years.  Of the private student loan programs still available to students at Dakota County Technical College, our students have used the following in the last three years:

  • Bank of North Dakota DEAL Loan
  • Minnesota SELF Loan
  • Sallie Mae Smart Option Loan
  • Wells Fargo Collegiate Loan
