Dear Parents, Private lenders are updating interest rates on student loans. If you or your student need more funding for college be sure to shop around and check carefully for the lowest rates. Remember that not everyone qualifies for the same rate at the same lender. It all comes down to details, such as: credit score, income to debt ratio, term (how long you take to pay back the loan), repayment type, and more.Ā Here's a helpful guide to rate shopping: 1. Research rates and apply* to at least three lenders: College Ave (A R2C preferred lender.)
Ascent (A R2C preferred lender.)
SoFi (A R2C preferred lender.)
Citizens (Through Credible - a website to check rates from multiple lenders.)
Sallie Mae (A R2C preferred lender.)
*Borrowers can apply to multiple lenders within a 30 day window of their first application, without additional impact to their credit score.
2. Once you've checked rates, create a free account atĀ joinjuno.com.Ā It takes less than a minute to sign up.
