Fixed Annual Percentage Rates (APRs): Fixed rates are based on the creditworthiness of the borrower and cosigner, if any.
Variable Annual Percentage Rates (APRs): Variable rates are based on the Prime Rate index plus a margin depending on the creditworthiness of the borrower and cosigner, if any. The Prime index, adjusted monthly, is equal to the Prime Rate as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal ‘(Eastern Edition)’ on the first business day of the immediately preceding calendar month. The Prime index is currently 4%. If the index increases or decreases, your rate will increase or decrease accordingly. The rate will not exceed 18%.

Loan Payment Examples: The monthly payment per $10,000 borrowed at a fixed-rate range of 3.99% APR to 9.74% APR for 10 years means you would make 120 payments that may range from $101.36 to $131.24. The monthly payment per $10,000 borrowed at a variable-rate range of 3.04% APR to 8.79% APR for 10 years means you would make 120 payments that may range from $96.87 to $126.00. For the variable-rate loan, monthly payment may increase or decrease if the interest rate increases or decreases. Estimated loan payment examples assume 30 days to first payment and are for the immediate repayment option. Payments vary for other rates, loan amounts and repayment terms.

Automated Payment Discount: During repayment, an interest rate discount of 0.50% is available for automated payments. Borrower must be making scheduled payments that include both principal and interest. Interest-only payments do not qualify for the 0.50% interest rate discount. Automated payment can be established through the loan servicer American Education Services (AES). Advertised rates include the 0.50% automated payment interest rate discount. The rate discount will be applied at the time automated payment is established. If automated payment is not established, the available rates will be 0.50% higher than the advertised rates. If automated payment is established and discontinued at any time during repayment, the borrower will no longer receive an automated payment discount and the rate will increase by 0.50%. Discount may also be suspended during periods of forbearance or deferment. Payments may be made from a checking or savings account. PNC limits the number of transfers that may be made from a savings or money market account. Please see your account agreement for more information.
Cosigner Release: A request to release a cosigner requires that, as of the date of the request, you have made at least forty-eight (48) consecutive timely payments of principal and interest with no periods of forbearance or deferment within the forty-eight (48) month timeframe. “Timely payment” means each payment is made no later than the 15th day after the scheduled due date of the payment. “Consecutive payment” means the minimum monthly payment must be made for the most recent forty-eight (48) months straight without any interruption. To qualify for a cosigner release, the borrower must submit a request, meet the consecutive, timely payment requirements, provide proof of income and pass a credit check.
Repayment Options: Three repayment options are available - Immediate repayment of principal & interest, interest-only payments while in school and full deferment of principal & interest until six months after graduating or ceasing to be enrolled at least half time. Interest will continue to accrue during periods of deferment. You will receive quarterly interest statements during the deferment period. Paying the interest as it accrues each quarter will save you money over the repayment term of the loan because any accrued interest that you do not pay will be added to the principal balance at the end of the deferment period.
