For both Private Student Loans, the APR can differ from the interest rate as it considers fees paid to obtain the loan, your interest rate, if payments are deferred and reflects the cost of the loan as a yearly rate. You are not required to make payments on your loan while in school, although you may make principal and interest payments any time. Making payments while attending school will lower your APR. The minimum loan amount is $1,000. Your interest rate will be determined by your credit score or your cosigner's, whichever is greater.
