Is a Private Student Loan Right for You?

Before applying, consider working with a financial aid professional to determine your eligibility for federal, state, or institutional aid. It is important to use these types of funding first, as private student loans might decrease your eligibility for other aid. Research scholarship opportunities: it’s free money you don’t have to repay!

LOAN REFINANCE

Student Debt Refinance

Simplify your finances by combining federal and private loans into one easy monthly payment. You can refinance up to $125,000 in student loan debt. Refinancing may help you lower your interest rate or pay off your debt sooner.

What you need to know:

  • Eligibility: You must be a graduate of an approved public or private not-for-profit school and be in the grace or repayment period.

  • Warning: If you refinance federal loans, you may lose benefits such as income-driven repayment, loan forgiveness, and unemployment deferment.
