In School Private Student Loans

A private student loan from Summit can help you pay for education expenses not covered by your financial aid package, while in school. You can borrow as little as $2,000 or as much as the cost of attendance per academic year.* Qualified school expenses include tuition, books, computers, room and board.

Here’s how Student Loans works

Summit can help make getting your loan and making your payments as easy on you as possible.

No origination fee (in other words, no charge just for creating the loan)

Low interest rates, including fixed and variable rate options • Flexible, lower monthly payment options because Summit offers longer terms than most lenders

Low monthly payments while you study

Six-month grace period after leaving school before full interest and principal payments begin

Option for reduced payments or interest-only payments for up to two years after graduation

Summit Credit Union membership benefits, including Student Free Checking, online banking and Summit’s app with mobile deposit

Here's who can apply

To be considered for a private student loan, you must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident age 18 or older, plus be enrolled in an eligible school at least half-time and pursuing a degree program.

Applying with a creditworthy cosigner may increase your chance for approval and may lead to a lower rate. Cosigners may be released from the loan after 24 consecutive months of on-time principal and interest payments.
Consolidation Loans

A consolidation loan keeps things simple because you’ll only be making one monthly payment. You also may be able to lower your interest rate and save a bunch of money – a little every month and a lot over the long run.
