University Loans

WesternU Emergency Loan Programs

Limited funds made available on a short-term basis to meet financial emergencies. The maximum loan is $500 interest-free and, since this is a revolving loan fund, it is expected to be repaid in three months.


Roger E. Coe Loan Fund

Established in March 1981 by a gift from Roger M. and Ruby M. Coe. Two loans of $2500.00 are awarded in the spring of each year to Osteopathic medical students who have completed their second or third year at Western University and are particularly interested in osteopathic manipulative skills. Interest begins to accrue at the time the loan is disbursed at the rate of five percent. First payment begins immediately after graduation with full repayment of the loan funds within five years.
