Borrow responsibly: We encourage students and families to start with savings, grants, scholarships, and federal student aid to pay for college. Students and families should evaluate all anticipated monthly loan payments, and how much the student expects to earn in the future, before considering a private student loan.

1. Although we do not charge you a penalty or fee if you prepay your loan, any prepayment will be applied as provided in your promissory note: first to unpaid fees and costs, then to Unpaid Interest, and then to current principal.
