Note: Private student loans should be used as supplemental funding after exhausting all other sources of financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and federal student loans. Federal loans offer more attractive terms when compared to most other borrowing options, including private student loans. For more information on federal loans, visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.

¹ Variable Rate Loans: Annual Interest Rate = Base Rate + Loan Margin. The Base Rate is the average of the 3-Month LIBOR published in the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the three months immediately preceding each quarterly adjustment. The Loan Margin is between 2.99% to 9.25%.

APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates are based on credit criteria and are all subject to change.

The APR is variable and may change as the Annual Interest Rate varies with the 3-month LIBOR, and, therefore, may increase during the life of the loan. The rate displayed above assumes a 0.25% reduction (subject to the floor rate of 2.99%) upon borrower enrolling in automatic payments. For more information about the automatic payment borrower benefit, see below.

Variable Rate Payment Example: Assuming a $10,000 loan amount, a 4.49% APR, and a 10-year term, you would make 54 (48 months in school + 6 month grace period) monthly payments of $25 while enrolled in school followed by 120 monthly payments of $111.32 to repay this loan. If the APR is 10.24% and the loan amount remains $10,000 you would make 54 monthly payments of $25 while you are enrolled in school followed by 120 monthly payments of $188.45 to repay this loan. The APR may increase during the life of the loan and can result in higher monthly payments.

² Fixed Rate Loans: The Interest rate charged and the annual percentage rate are constant for the life of the loan. The rate displayed above assumes a 0.25% reduction (subject to the floor rate) upon borrower enrolling in automatic payments. For more information about the automatic payment borrower benefit, see below.

Fixed Rate Payment Example: Assuming a $10,000 loan amount, a 6.03% APR, and a 10-year term, you would make 54 (48 months in school + 6 month grace period) monthly payments of $25 while enrolled in school followed by 120 monthly payments of $128.59 to repay this loan. If the APR is 11.40% and the loan amount remains $10,000 you would make 54 monthly payments of $25 while you are enrolled in school followed by 120 monthly payments of $208.80 to repay this loan.

³ Requires continued enrollment of automatic payments. If the automatic payment is cancelled any time after enrollment, the rate reduction will discontinue until automatic payment is reinstated. May be suspended during periods of forbearance and deferment.

⁴ Subject to Credit Union approval. The Repayment Period begins after the In-School and Grace Period. A request to release a cosigner requires that the borrower has made twenty-four (24) consecutive timely payments with no periods of forbearance or deferment within the twenty-four (24) month timeframe. "Timely payment" means each payment is made no later than the 15th day after the scheduled due date of the payment. "Consecutive payment" means the regularly scheduled monthly payment must be made for twenty-four (24) months straight without any interruption. To qualify for a cosigner release, the borrower must submit a request, meet the consecutive, timely payment requirements, provide proof of income and pass a credit check.

⁵ Navy Federal private student loans are subject to credit qualification, school certification of loan amount, and student's enrollment at a Navy Federal participating school. Navy Federal reserves the right to approve a lower amount than the school certified amount or withhold funding if the school does not certify private student loans.
