  1. Complete the private alternative loan application with the student’s lender of choice.
  2. Submit the Self-Certification Form directly to your lender.
  3. Complete GW’s Supplemental Graduate Loan Questionnaire which is found online through Forms and Documents. Indicate the requested loan amount for the private alternative loan and the name of the loan being applied for.  If the student is simultaneously requesting new or additional federal loan amounts, indicate these on the same Supplemental Graduate Loan Questionnaire. The detailed information you provide us on this form will enable us to process your application correctly and for the loan period of your choosing.
