The recent rise in college costs makes it difficult for most parents to fully fund their children's college degrees without help.

Chase Student loan programs can help fill the gap between your savings and the cost of college.

Private student loans (also know as alternative student loans) can help you pay for your student’s school expenses that are not covered by federal loans, scholarships, grants or other forms of financial aid.

Is your student taking Undergraduate or Graduate courses?

Our Private Student Loan program is an unsecured, credit-based loan that can be used for any education-related expenses, such as tuition, books, room & board, a new laptop computer or previous school fees. Unless employed while in school and meet other income and credit guidelines, most students will need a U.S. co-signer to qualify for a Chase Private Student Loan, although this is not required. A co-signer can be a parent, relative, spouse or friend.

Benefits Include

• $1,000 - $40,000 available per year ¹
• Funds are sent directly to you within two business days of final approval
• Use your funds for any education-related expenses such as tuition, living expenses, books, fees, supplies—even a laptop computer or previous school fees
• No financial aid forms or school certifications are required
• Flexible repayment terms
• No application deadlines; apply anytime

Repayment of principal and interest then begins within 180 days after graduation, withdrawal from school, or enrollment dropping below half-time.

As you determine the best way to finance your education, you should consider the full range of student financial aid options available to you. Private loans may be used for any education related expenses such as tuition, room and board, books, computers, and past due balances. Private loans can also be used to supplement federal student loans, when federal loans, grants and other forms of financial aid are not sufficient to cover the full cost of education.
