Student Loan Undergraduate Fixed Interest Rates (APRs)
All displayed rates include a .25% Auto-Pay discount for auto-debt payments. Displayed rates taken from competitor websites as of 17 April 2024. For Earnest, displayed rates are taken from ELM Select (www.elmselect.com) as of 17 April 2024. The range of rates shown may have changed. Please visit the applicable website for each lender's most current rates and for terms and conditions to qualify for the auto-pay discount. Like at Brazos, the specific rate you receive from other lenders is dependent on numerous factors, including your creditworthiness, the term and repayment option you select, available borrower benefits and the length of any deferment period(s) assumed in calculating the rates.
Rates are not the only factor to consider when shopping for a private student loan. As with any loan, think carefully about your financial situation and understand the details about the loans you’re comparing when deciding which private student loan is right for you.
