Graduates throwing Cap in air

Leopard Loans allow students to begin and complete their education at Temple College. These loans are fully funded by donors who believe that the completion of a certificate or degree will allow students to live independently. We require repayment of all loans in order to continue loaning funds to new students.

Leopard Loans offer students the ability to stay focused on their classes instead of worrying about financial pressures. The Foundation offers short-term loans of no more than $1,000.00 available at no interest.

Leopard Loan Facts

  • To qualify for a Leopard Loan, which is considered a bridge loan, a student must be registered for classes and have financial aid to cover the amount of the loan.  Students must also be in good academic and financial aid standing with the college.
