with a prior Bachelor's degree

have a credit-based loan
as a part of their award package for the year. If

require a co-signer to receive the loan. Please review
the section on Maintaining good credit.

the award letter, but there is no requirement that

a credit-based loan) if needed. Carefully review
your budget and resources to determine if the additional
funding is needed before replacing the employment
with loans.
