Student Loans

Focus on learning – not just on finances – with affordable Student Loan options.

Choose a Private Student Loan when college expenses exceed what you have through savings and federal loans. When you graduate, a Consolidation Student Loan can help lower your interest rate and give you a single, convenient monthly payment.

You’ll save with…

  • No processing fees
  • No origination fees
  • No prepayment penalties
  • Competitive variable rates*
  • A rate discount when you set up auto payments
  • Up to 12 years to repay your loan

To apply, you’ll need…

  • At least two years of credit history
  • Sufficient income to make your payments
  • A credit score that fits our guidelines

Depending on your credit history, you may need a co-signer.

You must be…

Private Student Loan

  • In school at least half-time at an accredited
    college or university
  • Over 18**
  • A U.S. citizen†

 Consolidation Student Loan

  • A college graduate

  • What documentation will I need to provide?

    You will need to provide a current statement for each of the loans you wish to consolidate. We also may request a copy of documents, such as driver's license or a current paystub. Refer to the Missing Documents tab to see what documents are needed.
