Loans

Please note the following message from the Educational Foundation:

“Recognizing the potential for financial hardship during the global pandemic, the AXPEF Programs and Services committee would like to offer loan payment deferment consideration for Brothers specifically requesting some from the Foundation at foundation@alphachirho.org, who will forward the request to the committee for review and approval. Brothers may request a not-to-exceed 6-months duration deferment period. At that point Brothers may request further deferment using the same process at that time, if needed.”

Undergraduates

Full-time Seniors and Juniors with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale, or the equivalent where a different grading system is used, may borrow up to $3,500. When funds permit, the committee may consider exceptions to the 2.8 GPA requirement if:

  • The applicant demonstrates an extraordinary or emergent need for financial assistance
  • The applicant has demonstrated steady academic improvement and has achieved a 2.8 GPA or better in each of his last two semesters
