Important Information:
Since federal student loans generally offer more attractive terms than private student loans, you should always use your federal financing options first. You should only consider taking out a private student loan if you find that, even after your federal loans and grants, your school costs still exceed your available scholarships and financial aid. In that case, a private student loan could provide the remaining money you need.
In order to provide you with a student loan, it will be necessary for us to share the information you’re providing here with certain third parties, such as a lender or servicer. Any personal information you provide to us on this form may be shared with a third party as outlined in our privacy policy, for the purposes of providing you either with a student loan or with other products or services.
The repayment examples on this page apply only to those NextStudent Private Loans for which the Lender was RBS Citizens, N.A.
1 This repayment example assumes a variable interest rate for the Next Student Undergraduate Loan equal to the LIBOR Index plus a margin of 3.60% for Options 1, 2, and 3. The interest rates used in this example and in effect as of 04/01/2008 are 6.71% for Options 1, 2, and 3. The interest rate margin ranges from 3.60% to 8.25% (APRs range from 7.03% to 12.86%), depending on the credit-worthiness of the borrower and co-signer, if any, and the repayment option selected. The LIBOR Index equals the one-month LIBOR published in the “Money Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal on the first business day of the preceding calendar month. LIBOR means the London Interbank Offered Rate. The interest rate and APR will increase during the life of the loan if the LIBOR Index increases. RBS Citizens, N.A., Member FDIC and Equal Opportunity Lender is the lender for the Next Student Undergraduate Loan. The loan terms described are for the 2007-2008 academic year and are subject to change.
2 These repayment examples assume origination fees of 3.0% of the total loan amount (the requested loan amount plus the origination fee) for Options 1 & 2, and 5.0% of the total loan amount for Option 3. The origination fee ranges from 3.0% to 10.5%, depending on the repayment option selected and the credit-worthiness of the borrower and co-signer, if any. The origination fee, if any, will be added to and financed with the requested loan amount at disbursement.
3 The amount shown here is the payment that will be made during the deferment period if the student elects to defer principal and make interest-only payments while in school. The monthly interest payment will increase if the interest rate increases. Interest-only payments during deferment do not reduce the principal balance of the loan. After deferment, full principal and interest repayment begins.
4 Principal at repayment is the principal amount of the loan at disbursement plus, if you elect to defer repayment, interest that accrues during the deferment term under Option 3, where both interest and principal is deferred. Under Option 3, deferred interest is capitalized quarterly and at the time your loan enters repayment.
5 Monthly payments under Option 1 will be fixed for the first year and then recalculated once each year based on the interest rate applicable at the time of the calculation and reset on the anniversary of your most recent repayment start date so as to pay the loan in full over the remaining repayment period. Monthly payments of principal and interest under Options 2 & 3 will be fixed for the first year when the loan goes into repayment and then recalculated once each year based on the interest rate applicable at the time of the calculation and reset on the anniversary of your most recent repayment start date so as to pay the loan in full over the remaining repayment period. If principal or principal and interest are deferred, the monthly payment amount shown here will increase if the interest rate increases and will be computed based on the interest rate applicable at the time repayment begins. Minimum monthly payments will be at least $25.
6 Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a measure of what a loan will cost. It takes into account the rate, fees, length of the loan, and the timing of all payments. The APR will increase if the LIBOR Index increases.
7 Finance charge is the dollar amount the credit will cost and includes interest paid over the life of the loan, plus the origination fee, if any.
The lender for the NextStudent Alternative Private Student Loan described above was RBS Citizens, N.A., Member FDIC and Equal Opportunity Lender. RBS Citizens, N.A. may sell your student loan to a third party. RBS Citizens, N.A. will only sell your student loan if the third party agrees to honor all of RBS Citizens, N.A.'s promises to you, including all promised benefits that you will receive or might become eligible for during the loan repayment period.
