Student's Guide to Borrowing Levels by Major Student’s Guide to Borrowing Levels by Major When you’re reviewing your financial aid award letter and applying for a loan, think about the total amount of money you will borrow for all your years in college and especially how that total loan amount will relate to your expected starting salary. Find your major and the associated average starting salary earned by graduates with a bachelor’s degree in that specific college major1. If your major is not listed, the one that is the most similar to your chosen major will give you a good estimate. Your average starting salary is equivalent to the maximum recommended borrowing for a four-year degree.

  • Do I Need to File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to Apply for the Citizens Bank Student Loan Or Citizens Bank Student Loan for Parents? A: No
    Citizens Bank Student Loans FAQ Student Lending, the Citizens Bank Student Loan™ and Citizens Bank Student Loan for Parents™ Q: Do I need to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for the Citizens Bank Student Loan or Citizens Bank Student Loan for Parents? A: No. Citizens Bank Student Loan and Citizens Bank Student Loan for Parents borrowers do not need to submit a FAFSA. Simply complete the online application to apply. However, we recommend that you also consider available federal student loan options, for which a FAFSA will be required. You can obtain more information about federal student loan programs at the Department of Education website www.direct.ed.gov. Q: Can I use a Citizens Bank Student Loan or Citizens Bank Student Loan for Parents to help pay for books and personal expenses? A: Yes. Our Citizens Bank Student Loan and Citizens Bank Student Loan for Parents can be used to help pay for school-related costs beyond that of tuition while the student is enrolled in school. Examples of these costs are books and living expenses, such as meals and rent, and the maximum amount you can borrow each year is determined by the school. Q: What is the difference between the Citizens Bank Student Loan or Citizens Bank Student Loan for Parents? A: The biggest difference between the two products is that with the Citizens Bank 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 Bank 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 co-signer) and that borrower remains the sole person responsible for repayment of the loan.

  • Repaying Your Loans
    FEDERAL STUDENT LOANS Repaying Your Loans ® This guide provides information about repayment of loans from the following federal student loan programs: • The William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program— Under this program, loans are made by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). • The Federal Perkins Loan Program—Under this program, loans are made by schools. • The Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program—Under this program, now discontinued, loans were made by banks or other financial institutions. No new FFEL Program loans have been made since July 1, 2010, but you may have an FFEL if you were attending school before that date. Note: Although Perkins Loans are made by schools and FFEL Program loans were made by financial institutions, these loans—like Direct Loans—are federal student loans.

To determine whether petitioner had shown “undue hardship,” the court of appeals applied its ver- sion of the three-element Brunner test. See Brunner v. N.Y. State Higher Educ. Servs. Corp., 831 F.2d 395, 396 (2d Cir. 1987). As two elements of that test, the court of appeals requires a debtor to establish a past good faith effort to repay student loans and a “certainty of hopelessness” that he will never be able to repay his student loan debt in the future. Other courts of appeals apply substantially different versions of the Brunner test, requiring that the debtor’s inability to pay be “likely to persist for a significant portion of the repay- ment period,” but not requiring a “certainty of hope- lessness.” Courts in two circuits have rejected the Brunner test altogether, adopting a more lenient standard based on the “totality of the circumstances.” This case presents the following questions: 1.

  • The U.S. Department of Education (ED) Office of Federal Student Aid Is Actively Monitoring the New Coronavirus/COVID-19 Outbreak
    The U.S. Department of Education (ED) Office of Federal Student Aid is actively monitoring the new coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak. U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced on 3/25/20 that, due to the COVID-19 national emergency, the Department will halt collection actions and wage garnishments to provide additional assistance to borrowers. This flexibility will last for a period of at least 60 days from March 13, 2020. Effective 4/1/20, the Office of the State Controller will suspend all Federal Student loan garnishments. Federal Student loan garnishment payments processed on monthly pay date 3/31/20 and biweekly pay date 4/03/20 have been sent to the U.S. Department of Education. The U.S. Department of Education will refund any garnished wages that should have been stopped as a result of the announcement. The U.S. Department of Education is actively monitoring the COVID-19 national emergency and may extend the 60-day period. Borrowers with defaulted student loans, a current relationship with a private collection agency, and an interest in continuing a prior payment arrangement, consolidating their loans, or beginning a loan rehabilitation arrangement with their private collection agency, should contact the Department's Default Resolution Group at 1-800-621-3115 (TTY for the deaf or hearing-impaired 1-877-825-9923). Private collection agencies are permitted to provide assistance upon the borrower's request. On March 27, 2020, the president signed the CARES Act into law which, among other things, provides broad relief for federal student loan borrowers. To provide relief to student loan borrowers during the COVID-19 national emergency, federal student loan borrowers are being placed in an administrative forbearance automatically, which allows you to temporarily stop making your monthly loan payment.
