U.S. Bank Offers Options to Help Pay for Second Semester Education Expenses

With the start of the New Year, college students and parents are preparing for a new semester and all of the associated costs. U.S. Bank can help students who have exhausted their federal loans, scholarships, grants and savings and still need to cover tuition and other educational expenses.

The following features and benefits are available to students and parents who choose U.S. Bank as their private student loan lender:

Fixed and Variable Rate Options1. U.S. Bank offers variety when it comes to choosing a private student loan. Students can choose the option that’s best for them, whether it’s a variable rate student loan with low rates and no fees or the security of a true fixed rate student loan.
Graduation and Good Grades Perks2. Graduating from college is a major accomplishment, and U.S. Bank rewards students with a two percent principal reduction on student loans. Students who graduate with a 3.30 GPA or higher will have an additional one percent principal reduction on their student loan.
AutoPay3 Discount. AutoPay is the best way to repay. It's easy to set up, always on time, paperless and also qualifies students for a 0.50 percent interest rate reduction.
Look-Back Feature. Students who have a past due balance from their first semester may apply for a loan to cover unpaid educational costs, up to six months from the last date of the loan period.

“There’s a reason U.S. Bank is so committed to giving students every opportunity to realize their potential,” said Lucille Conley, senior vice president of U.S. Bank Consumer Lending. “Education changes lives. U.S. Bank can help students finance their college education if federal loans, scholarships and grants don’t cover all their educational expenses.”
