Borrow Responsibly

We encourage students and families to start with savings, grants, scholarships, and federal student loans 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.

Loans for Undergraduate & Career Training Students are not intended for graduate students and are subject to credit approval, identity verification, signed loan documents, and school certification. Student must attend a participating school. Student or cosigner must meet the age of majority in their state of residence. Students who are not U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents must reside in the U.S., attend school in the U.S., apply with a creditworthy cosigner (who must be a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident), and provide an unexpired government-issued photo ID. Requested loan amount must be at least $1,000.

¹Advertised APRs for undergraduate students assume a $10,000 loan to a student who attends school for 4 years and has no prior Sallie Mae-serviced loans. Interest rates for variable rate loans may increase or decrease over the life of the loan based on changes to the 30-day Average Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of one percent.  Advertised variable rates are the starting range of rates and may vary outside of that range over the life of the loan. Interest is charged starting when funds are sent to the school. With the Fixed and Deferred Repayment Options, the interest rate is higher than with the Interest Repayment Option and Unpaid Interest is added to the loan’s Current Principal at the end of the grace/separation period. To receive a 0.25 percentage point interest rate discount, the borrower or cosigner must enroll in auto debit through Sallie Mae. The discount applies only during active repayment for as long as the Current Amount Due or Designated Amount is successfully withdrawn from the authorized bank account each month. It may be suspended during forbearance or deferment.

²In 2022, instant credit decisions were provided to 97.8% of applicants.  Other applications typically received credit decisions in 3 to 5 business days.

³Although we do not charge a penalty or fee if you prepay your loan, any prepayment will be applied as outlined in your promissory note-first to Unpaid Fees and costs, then to Unpaid Interest, and then to Current Principal.

⁴Based on the percentage of borrowers who were approved for an undergraduate loan with a cosigner compared to the percentage of borrowers who were approved for an undergraduate loan without a cosigner from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022. 

⁵ For applications submitted directly to Sallie Mae, loan amount cannot exceed the cost of attendance less financial aid received, as certified by the school.  Applications submitted to Sallie Mae through a partner website may be subjected to a lower maximum loan request amount.  Miscellaneous personal expenses (such as a laptop) may be included in the cost of attendance for students enrolled at least half-time. 

⁶ Examples of typical costs for a $10,000 Smart Option Loan with the most common fixed rate, fixed repayment option, 6-month separation period, and two disbursements: For a borrower with no prior loans and a 4-year in-school period, it works out to a 10.28% fixed APR, 51 payments of $25.00, 119 payments of $182.67 and one payment of $121.71, for a Total Loan Cost of $23,134.44.  For a borrower with $20,000 in prior loans and a 2-year in-school period, it works out to a 10.78% fixed APR, 27 payments of $25.00, 179 payments of $132.53 and one payment of $40.35 for a total loan cost of $24,438.22. Loans that are subject to a $50 minimum principal and interest payment may receive a loan term that is less than 10 years.

About these examples:

These are examples. Your specific terms will be provided if you are approved. In examples 1 and 2, a student defers while in school and post-graduation grace period for 11 months and then makes the minimum payment for 12 months followed by the income based payments beginning 24 months after taking the loan. In example 3, a student or co-signer defers for two months, then makes the minimum monthly payment for 9 months while the student is in school and then pays off the loan in month 12. In example 4, a student or co-signer defers for two months and then makes the minimum monthly payments for 9 months while in school followed by income based payments beginning 12 months after taking the loan. For co-sign loans, the student or co-signer must make small payments while the student is in school. The initial payment schedule is set upon receiving final terms and upon confirmation by your school of the loan amount. You may repay this loan at any time by paying an effective APR of 23%. Please refer to your loan agreement or call us for your payoff amount. In examples 1 and 2, the maximum amount you will pay is $22,500 (not including Late Fees and Returned Check Fees, if any). In examples 3 and 4, the maximum amount you will pay is $25,000 (not including Late Fees and Returned Check Fees, if any). The maximum number of regularly scheduled payments you will make is 84. You will not pay more than 23% APR. No payment is required if the student’s gross earned income is below $30,000 annually or if the student loses his or her job and cannot find employment. This does not apply for co-sign loans. Interest will accrue at the Growth Rate of 22.75% on the unpaid loan balance during the life of the loan including during any deferral periods. The Growth Rate is an annualized interest rate which uses daily compounding and assumes actual number of days in each month and the actual number of days in each year (“Growth Rate”). The effective APR differs from the Growth Rate and considers fees and reflects the cost of your loan as a yearly rate. For more information about the effective APR, see reference notes. See your loan agreement for additional information regarding your prepayment options, including how to prepay at the Pre-Payment Cap.

Earnest variable interest rate student loan origination loans are based on a publicly available index, the 30-day Average Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The variable rate is based on the rate published on the 25th day, or the next business day, of the preceding calendar month, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

⁴Earnest clients may skip one payment every 12 months. Your first request to skip a payment can be made once you’ve made at least 6 months of consecutive on-time payments, and your loan is in good standing. The interest accrued during the skipped month will result in an increase in your remaining minimum payment. The final payoff date on your loan will be extended by the length of the skipped payment periods. Please be aware that a skipped payment does count toward the forbearance limits. Please note that skipping a payment is not guaranteed and is at Earnest’s discretion. Your monthly payment and total loan cost may increase as a result of postponing your payment and extending your term.
