Low Fixed Rates

The case for low rates

If you’ve been briefed on rates, you know that a low interest rate can help you save thousands. We offer some of the lowest rates and encourage all law students to use a cosigner.

Cosigners tend to have a longer credit history compared to students and have access to lower interest rates.
