STUDENT LOANS 101

If you’re thinking about taking out a student loan to help pay for college, you might be navigating the loan process for the first time and encountering a lot of questions about how student loans work.

HOW TO PAY FOR COLLEGE

Everyone’s financial situation is different. Attending college is a big financial decision for you and your family. Being accepted into your school of choice is cause for celebration—so don’t let the price tag damper your excitement. When it’s time to start planning how to pay for college, there are many resources to help you find a financial plan that works for you and your family and help make a financially responsible choice.

VARIABLE VS FIXED

After you submit an application and receive approval for a private student loan, you typically will be presented with the option to select a variable or fixed interest rate on your loan. The interest rate is the price you pay the lender in return for borrowing the money, so it’s important to understand what you’re choosing and why.

GRAD SCHOOL

Earning an advanced degree is a great way to boost your skills, confidence, and earning potential. If you’re already exploring ways to pay for graduate school, you’re probably not questioning the value of an advanced degree, but wondering how you’ll afford grad school and possibly weighing graduate student loan options.

Student Checking

No-fee account with benefits! We want students thinking about homework and studying. That’s why our fee-free banking option doesn’t have them, or any other tricky details. The perfect companion to your student loan.
