Student Loans for Nevadans
Bachelor degrees, professional certificates, licenses–education comes in all shapes and forms. A little can go a long way, especially when it comes to personal enrichment and earning potential. It all begins with student loans: funding to help students attend a school or program.
There are two types of student loans: federal and private. Federal student loans are money borrowed from the government, while private loans are money borrowed from a private source–usually a financial institution. At Greater Nevada, you can borrow directly from us with a private loan, or we can help you apply for a Sallie Mae® loan.
Low Minimum for Educational Pursuits
Student loans start at $2,500 minimum, and you can borrow up to 100% of your education costs.

What Can Student Loans Fund?
Not only can student loans be used to pay for traditional colleges and universities, they can also be used to pay for graduate school, trade schools, and continuing education needs.
Student loans can also be used to pay for educational expenses like textbooks, as well as supplies and resources that are required for your program.
You can also use your student loan from Greater Nevada to consolidate your existing student loans and potentially secure a lower interest rate.
As a private lender, Greater Nevada can help you refinance your student loans. By doing so, you may be able to lower your monthly payments.
