A private loan is a non-government student loan that is borrowed through a bank or private lender. Once students have borrowed the maximum in federal loans such as Stafford and PLUS Loans, they may need additional funds to cover the full cost of education. Private loans can bridge the gap between what's borrowed in federal loans and what's needed for the full cost of an education.
