New ÃÈÃÃÉç Exclusive Member Benefit: College Ave Partnership

Leaders in educator preparation face a critical challenge that threatens the future of graduate programs. The elimination of the Grad PLUS loan program and the new $20,500 cap on federal borrowing for part-time students has created major funding gaps for many graduate students — especially in Colleges of Education. Without adequate federal support, talented future educators may be forced out of preparation programs or pushed into high-interest private loans that jeopardize their careers.

ÃÈÃÃÉç has an innovative solution. We are partnering with College Ave to offer a simple,

flexible private loan solution for undergraduate and graduate pursuing a degree in education.

0.25%

Interest Rate Reduction*

Exclusive discount on interest rates for ÃÈÃÃÉç member institution students

3.0%

Loan Principal Reduction*

Direct reduction on the loan principal, putting money back in students’ pockets

*Applies only to principal balance in good standing at the instance when credit applied
