Private (alternative) loan information:

  • View full information of private education loans here
  • A private/alternative loan is a variable-interest, credit-based loan taken out under the student’s name. Depending on a student’s credit history, many students will need a parent co-signature, which could impact the parents’ credit report. This loan type has variable interest rates that could change monthly or quarterly. Most do not have an interest rate cap. Repayment generally begins six months after the student graduates or if the student drops below half-time status. You can read further about private/alternative loan options by visiting the website of the lender of your choice or by checking our list of TIU historical lenders.
  • Self-Certification Forms are generally available from the private/alternative loan lender. They are also available upon request from the TIU Student Financial Services Office.
  • View the TIU Code of Conduct for student loans.

Athletic Program

Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act Survey & Report:

The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) requires co-educational postsecondary institutions that participate in a Title IV federal student aid program and offer an intercollegiate athletic program to prepare an annual report to the Department of Education on athletic participation, staffing, and revenues and expenses, by men’s and women’s teams. The Department will use this information in preparing its required report to the Congress on gender equity in intercollegiate athletics. EADA is designed to make current and prospective students aware of a school’s commitment to providing equitable athletic opportunities for its men and women students. The Department of Education has provided a website http://ope.ed.gov/athletics/ that provides data from thousands of college and universities in a convenient searchable form.

To access information for our institution, please visit http://ope.ed.gov/athletics/ and click on ‘Get Data For One School’, enter ‘Trinity International University – Illinois’ in the Name box and choose ‘Continue’, select ‘Trinity International University – Illinois’ and choose ‘Continue’. Copies of the current EADA Survey are linked below.
