Loan Eligibility

College Ave loans are available to students in all 50 states, but you must meet the following criteria:

• Be enrolled in a degree program and attend classes at an eligible school
• Have satisfactory academic progress standards for your school (FICO score in the mid-600s)
• Possession of a Social Security number and be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
• Have a cosigner who is a U.S. citizen, if you’re an international student

Loan Fees

There are no application, origination, or prepayment fees, but College Ave does charge a $25 fee for each late payment.

Loan Discounts

College Ave offers a 0.25% interest rate deduction when you sign up to make automated payments from your checking or savings account. The interest rate deduction is reflected in College Ave’s advertised interest rates.

" ["section_4"]=> string(1079) "

The College Ave application process can be completed in under three minutes on the company’s website. You’ll need to at least know your Social Security number, school name, estimated annual income, and intended amount to complete it. The application process starts with pre-qualification, which lets you see what your rates could be like (they’re subject to change after a hard credit pull).

Once pre-qualification is complete, you have the ability to customize the loan to better fit your needs by modifying repayment terms, rates, payment types, and other factors. Repayment options include:

• Full principal and interest payment
• Interest-only payment
• Flat payment
• Deferred payment

Once you have a loan you’re happy with, you can finalize your application online as well. If your credit score is less than ideal, which is common for students, you’ll likely need a cosigner to get approved. International students are also required to have a cosigner.

Summary

College Ave offers a wider range of repayment terms than most other lenders, making it a great choice for borrowers who want to see lots of options. The opportunity for parents to receive up to $2,500 of their parent loan directly is an added benefit. No matter what your budget is, College Ave is likely to have a repayment plan to fit it. College Ave offers flexible student loan options that you can customize to fit your needs. While it doesn’t list its credit requirements, you can pre-qualify for free online.

*Best for students who want to make payments while they’re still in school.
