Repayment Term

Loans are amortized over 20 years, although there are no prepayment penalties.

Repayment Options

  • Immediate: Principal and interest payments begin as soon as the loan is disbursed.
  • Interest-Only: Interest payments begin as soon as the loan is disbursed and continue for up to 7 years, or 6 months after graduation/student leaves school, whichever comes first.
  • Total Deferment: No payments of principal or interest until 6 months after graduation.

Eligibility

Borrowers must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. Income must be verified reliable and sufficient to repay the amount borrowed in addition to existing debts and obligations. Borrowers must have established credit history.

Co-signers

Creditworthy co-signers will assist in securing the maximum loan amount with the best possible rates and terms.

NOTE: While Loan to Learn® can be used to consolidate federal student loans, you should first consider a federal consolidation loan, because it is subsidized by the federal government and offers a lower interest rate.
