Private student loans serve as a way for students to fill the funding gap between the cost of attending school and the amount of federal loans, grants, and available scholarships.
Our partners at LendKey are a network of over 160 not-for-profit credit union lenders who use common underwriting and pricing to provide members with an affordable private student loan program. Since the maximum amount freshmen students can borrow in federal loans for college is just $5,500, their Private Student Loan program makes it possible for families to afford college when federal loans and financial aid aren’t enough.
With rates as low as 3.12% APR (with AutoPay), LendKey’s competitively priced private student loans can be even more affordable than federal student loans. In many cases parents and graduate students with good credit can get a better rate on a private student loan compared to a federal PLUS student loan.
