Arkansas Education Loan

[Pages:11]Arkansas Education Loan

The Arkansas Education Loan is for undergraduate and graduate students. Applicants who do not meet the underwriting and credit criteria on their own may apply with one or two cosigners. The loan features:

` Fixed and variable rates. ` Multiple repayment options. ` An interest rate reduction for using auto-debit during repayment. ` A cosigner release option.

Note: Aspire Servicing Centersm has a contractual relationship with the Arkansas Student Loan Authority (ASLA), which operates under the Arkansas Development Finance Authority, a division of the Arkansas Department of Commerce, wherein Aspire Servicing Center performs certain private student loan (private loan) services for the ASLA.

Repayment Options

There are three different in-school payment options for the Arkansas Education Loan so that you can choose the one that works with your financial situation. And each option has its own set of rates that are provided before you apply.

The Immediate Payment options require monthly payments of principal and interest while you're in school. The Interest-Only Payment options require monthly interest payments while you're in school and during the separation period. Both of these options prevent increases to the loan balance when regular on-time payments are made during the in-school period.

` The Immediate Payment options require that monthly payments of principal and interest begin immediately -- while you are enrolled in school -- after the loan is fully disbursed.1 These options also feature our lowest interest rates.

` The Interest-Only Payment options require that monthly payments of interest begin immediately after the loan is first disbursed and feature a six-month separation period -- once you graduate, leave school or drop below half-time enrollment and before the principal and interest repayment period begins -- during which interest-only payments are required.2 The Interest-Only Payment options feature lower interest rates than the Deferred Payment loans.

The Deferred Payment options postpone payments until after you graduate, leave school or drop below half-time enrollment and feature a six-month separation period during which no payments are required. You can make payments during the in-school or separation period with no penalty but are not required to do so with the Deferred Payment options.

If you choose to have a fixed interest rate on your loan, you have options of either a 10-year repayment term or a 15-year repayment term. If you choose to have a variable interest rate on your loan, your loan will have either a 10-year repayment term or a 15-year repayment term depending on the in-school payment option selected. For more information, view the detailed interest rate information and examples on the following pages.

Loan Amounts

The Arkansas Education Loan must be: ` No more than the cost of attendance minus other aid annually. ` At least $1,001. ` No more than $100,000 cumulative.

Interest

Interest capitalizes at:

` The end of any qualifying deferment period for all loan options.

` The start of repayment status for loans that do not require principal and interest or interest-only payments while the borrower is enrolled and during the separation period.

` The final disbursement of loans that require monthly principal and interest payments while the borrower is enrolled in school and that have more than one disbursement.
