Easy and quick process

This is our 3rd student loan with CollegeAve. The most important part is, their process is very easy and it's quick as well to find the decision after pre-approval compared to other providers who generally takes many days before even you know the final decision. Thank you, College Ave team.

College Ave is a great place to get a student loan

College Ave is a great place to get money for students. The staff is so genuine, friendly and knowledgeable. They put you at ease. It takes the pressure off how am I going to pay for this semester or this year. It's a God sent. The application process is very easy and you don't feel violated or manipulated . And once the application process is finished you find out immediately if you have been approved. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have College Ave.

Highly recommend

I highly recommend College Ave for a student loan. The process was simple and quick. Not a lot of red tape. I like that my student was directly involved as well. Of course we discussed all the options but she ultimately made the decision herself. A good lesson in adulting.

1

Before school starts, figure out how much you’ll need to borrow. A good estimate is to take your cost of attendance and subtract any scholarships, grants, subsidized federal loans and savings you plan to use.

2

Start shopping around for loans and apply for a private student loan about 30 days before classes start. Decide if you plan to apply with a cosigner and choose your loan term and repayment options.

3

Once approved, we’ll work directly with your school to certify the loan. After the money is sent to your school, be on the lookout for your first loan statement. If you selected an in-school repayment option, consider signing up for auto-pay.
