Wells Fargo Collegiate® Loan
Many students find that federal loans aren't enough to cover their education costs. A private student loan can be used for tuition, books, a computer, housing, and other education expenses.
If you've already received all the federal loans and scholarships you're eligible for and still don't have enough, you can use the Wells Fargo Collegiate Loan to borrow up to the entire cost of your education.
Consider Applying With a Cosigner
Adding a credit worthy cosigner to your application may increase your chances of getting approved and could potentially reduce the interest rate on your loan.

4 Wells Fargo retains the right to discontinue or modify our rewards for future disbursements at any time without notice. Reduced interest rate requires continued automatic payment from a personal checking or savings account. If the automatic payment is cancelled at any time after repayment begins, the discount will be lost until automatic payment is reinstated. The automatic payment interest rate reduction is separate from the graduation reward interest rate reduction and available to both borrowers who graduate and those who do not.
