International students may qualify for these types of loans; however, they must have a credit-worthy US citizen or perminent resident coborrower in order to be considered. Private Loans
The Emergency Loan:
The Emergency loan is an institutional loan available to students for verifiable, short-term emergencies only. Loans may be issued for a maximum of up to $1000 per semester, with a maximum repayment period of 90 days. Only one loan may be granted each semester. Students need to be current on their tuition account and may not have an outstanding prior emergency loan to be eligible. All loans are granted at the discretion of the Director of Student Financing.

CGU is an approved institution for in-service, off-duty educational benefits provided by the Veterans Administration. First payments take approximately 90 days to arrive. It is recommended that students eligible for these benefits contact the Office of Student Financing at least 3 months prior to the first day of the semester attended to ensure that checks are available.

Outside Scholarships:
Each year, private outside foundations and agencies offer scholarships that are announced by the Office of Student Financing and/or through the academic departments. Many of these scholarships and outside recources are distributed via email through the Office of Student Financing.
