Need Financing...Toots Sweet?

(That's French for "right now.")

Not an ideal situation, but it does happen that college students and newly-minted college freshmen sometimes realize that they need financing...yesterday.

It's not too late!

But you have to act fast.

If you have no idea about how student loans work, start at the beginning...right here

Then, check out our step-by-step guide to applying for the loans...right here.

Research, Shop, and Compare

The first order of business:

Make sure your student ALWAYS maxes out the federal student loans.

If you still need more, you'll want to compare private student loan rates to the Parent PLUS loan, which is 6.28% plus a 4.228% origination fee, equaling an APR of 7.25% (the interest rate to compare private loans rates too).

Still, need more $$$?

Follow our steps (above) for shopping for rates of private student loans.

LENDER I VARIABLE RATES (APR)

Ascent (Cosigned) 1.85% - 10.35%*

SoFi 0.99% - 11.22%*

CommonBond 3.78% - 9.34% *

College Ave 0.99% - 11.98%*

Sallie Mae 1.13% - 11.23%*

LendKey as low as 1.49%*

*Variable rates as of August 25, 2021. Rates are based on automatic payment discounts of 0.25 percentage points.

You Can Do It!

But you just have to be Wonder Woman (and man) fast!

My goal is to provide affordable services, insightful information and a support system so your family can make more informed decisions about college.
