Once approved, the loan funds can be accessed quickly and used for tuition, books, and other educational expenses.

Funds are made available to you on a revolving basis while you’re still in school, allowing you to borrow, repay, and borrow again. After graduation, your loan switches to fixed payments, and you can manage your repayments through automatic transfers with flexible payment frequencies.

Payment Options and Details

During your time in school, you will only make interest-only payments on your student loan, allowing you to focus on your studies without worrying about principal repayment.

Once you graduate and complete your one-year grace period, your loan will convert to fixed monthly payments that include both principal and interest, helping you pay off your loan over time.

Conexus offers a variety of payment frequencies for repayment, including weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly options, allowing you to choose the schedule that best suits your financial situation.

Is this right for you?

Right for you if you:

  • Are looking for funding that will help cover education costs and provide cash flow while attending school. Our StudentChoice® education loan is designed to help cover tuition, books, housing, and other education-related expenses, making it easier to focus on your studies without worrying about finances.

  • Need flexible repayment terms. With interest-only payments while you're in school and a grace period after graduation, you can manage your finances more effectively until you’re ready to start repaying the principal.

  • Want lower-interest rates helping reduce the overall cost of your education financing.

May not be right for you if you:

  • Are unsure about your future financial situation. While a student loan provides funds for education, you’ll need to start repaying the loan after the grace period. Other products with more immediate repayment flexibility might be more suitable, like a Personal Loan.

  • Don’t have someone you could use as a co-signer or guarantor for the loan, it’s often required for many student loans. If you don’t have a co-signor or guarantor, talk to an advisor about our Personal Loan or Line of Credit.

  • Need funds for other big purchases that aren’t related to education. For example, if you're looking to purchase a vehicle while in school.
