Emergency Tuition Loans

Emergency Tuition Loans

Need more time to pay your tuition? Laredo College offers short-term emergency tuition loans to help eligible students cover tuition and fees when funds are not available upfront, including while financial aid is being processed.

This is a loan that must be repaid, not a grant or scholarship. Loans are subject to approval and available funding.

Before You Apply

  • You must repay the loan by the due date listed on your loan agreement.
  • No interest is charged, but a $10 loan fee applies.
  • The loan covers tuition and eligible fees. Ebooks are not included.
  • Approval depends on eligibility and available funding. Submitting a request does not guarantee approval.
If you are waiting for financial aid, you are still responsible for repayment if your aid is delayed, denied, or does not cover the full amount owed.

How to Request an Emergency Tuition Loan

Visit the Office of Financial Aid in person or email finaid@laredo.edu to request an emergency tuition loan.

When emailing, include your full name, Palomino ID, and the semester for which you need assistance. Our office will review your request and explain the next steps.
