EdFed has a wide variety of loans to offer to the veterinary students. In order to know more about specific eligibility requirements and up-to-the-minute details on interest rates and borrower benefits, please call us at 800.821.5659.
Private Loans:
For current VETERINARY students, we offer a comprehensive Tuition Loan. These loans range between $3,000 and $50,000 per year and are available to any U.S. citizen or permanent resident attending a Title IV or any other approved institution.
The rate of interest on our Tuition Loan is set at the prime rate (currently 7.75%), adjusted monthly, plus a margin depending on your credit history. The origination fee on the loan depends on your loan amount and credit evaluation.
Repayment can be deferred for up to 7 years after the loan is disbursed or 6 months following graduation or the time you leave school, whichever comes first. Repayment terms of up to 20 years are available.
Applying for a Tuition Loan is easy! You can apply anytime, even after a semester has started. We can pre-approve you over the phone in as few as 3 minutes. Your Tuition Loan will be disbursed directly to you by check two business days after you submit your signed promissory note, proof of enrollment, and supporting documentation.
Call us at 800.821.5659 to speak directly with a financial advisor about eligibility requirements for our private loans; or, if you're ready to start an application, click here to go to our Registration Form. Find out whether you qualify or not… right now!
Federal Loans
EdFed also offers federally guaranteed Stafford and PLUS loans.
Stafford Loans, available for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, are low-interest federal loans and are one of the most commonly used student loans. Stafford Loans are either subsidized (the government pays the interest while you are in school and during grace and approved deferment periods) or unsubsidized (you pay all the interest, and payments can be deferred until after you leave school).
The Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) is part of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). Any parent with an eligible undergraduate student can apply for this loan. Also, beginning July 1, 2006, we will be able to offer the new PLUS loan for graduates. The Graduate PLUS loan was conceived with independent graduate students in mind; although eligibility is credit-based, a parent's application is not required.
Provided at a low interest rate of 6.10%, a PLUS loan allows the borrower to fund up to 100% of the cost of education less any financial aid already awarded. It is a cost-effective alternative to using savings, income, retirement accounts, or home equity loans for education costs.
