Student
Parent
The biggest difference between the Citizens Student Loan and Citizens Student Loan for Parents is that with the Citizens Student Loan, the student is the primary borrower (with the ability to add a qualified cosigner) who is liable for the repayment of the loan. With the Citizens Student Loan for Parents, the borrower is a parent or other sponsor who has taken out the loan for the benefit of the student (this option does not allow for a cosigner) and that borrower remains the sole person responsible for repayment of the loan.
Degree Type1
The amount you can borrow is based upon the degree type. Our student loan does have lifetime aggregate limits (including both federal and private loan debt) of: Medical: $350,000 (MD, DO, DMD, DDS), Business/Law: $225,000, Other Graduate Degrees: $150,000.

Repayment Options
Immediate
Interest Only
Deferred

Immediate Repayment: Make principal and interest payments while in school.

Interest-Only Repayment: Make interest-only payments while in school. This will reduce the total interest you pay on your loan.

Deferred Repayment: Make no payments until six months after graduation or after you leave school or drop below half-time status.

Please note: Your payment will be higher when you enter full Principal and Interest repayment.

Discounts
Apply Loyalty Discount2
Do you have any qualifying Citizens accounts? Take 0.25 percentage points off your interest rate.
Apply Auto-Pay Discount3

Earn an additional 0.25 percentage point interest rate reduction on your loan, during periods when payments are due, by authorizing our loan servicer to automatically deduct your payments each month from any bank account you designate. Checking this option will update the loan offers below to reflect this discount.

Please note that “deferred” options (no payments while in school) do not reflect this discount as automatic payments must be active. However, when you do enter repayment after graduation you will be eligible to sign up for automatic payments and be credited with the 0.25 percentage point interest rate reduction.
