Convenient and Flexible College Funding

With our private education line of credit, you can secure funding for your entire undergraduate career with just one application!* In future academic years, simply request funds from your line (called a “draw”) for the amount you need – no need to reapply! And with convenient repayment terms and in-school deferment, we’ll help you successfully manage repayment after college.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

You can even roll other private student loans (from other lenders) into your line of credit! Those loans will be consolidated and take on the interest rate and repayment term of your line of credit, simplifying repayment and potentially saving you money in the long run.††

 

†† Private education loans must have been used for qualified educational expenses at an approved school.
