SHORT-TERM STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM
THE EMERGENCY SHORT-TERM STUDENT
LOAN PROGRAM
The short-term student loan program has been serving Metro's diverse
student population for years by offering short-term (30 day) emergency
loans to qualified Metro State students. Short-term loans serve as a crucial
financial bridge to students awaiting their financial aid checks
at the beginning of each semester. Access to short-term loan funds
enables students to purchase textbooks and other course materials
needed to succeed in classes. The Short-Term Student Loan Program
also helps students meet other unexpected financial expenses that
may occur throughout the term.
