3 Citizens Bank Student Loan The Citizens Bank Student Loan is a private student loan designed to bridge the gap after students maximize grants, scholarships and Federal loan options. Applicants may borrower up to the cost of attendance less other aid received. Citizens Bank offers multiple processes for schools to certify and disburse Citizens Bank Student Loans, along with competitive pricing and flexible repayment options. Eligibility Students must be enrolled at least half-time in a program that s been certified by their school of attendance. Satisfactory academic progress is not required. Students completing certificate programs are ineligible. International students may apply, provided they have a qualified co-signer who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. For all other students, a co-signer is not required, although students must meet the age of majority in their state of residency if they wish to apply without a co-signer. We also encourage students to apply with a creditworthy co-signer to increase their chances of approval and maximize the opportunity for a lower interest rate. Rates and Fees The Citizens Bank Student Loan charges no application, origination or disbursement fees. We also offer our borrowers a choice of fixed or variable interest rates in 5, 10 and 15 year repayment terms. Variable Rate Option Interest rates range from 1-month LIBOR % to 1-month LIBOR %. Fixed Rate Option Interest rates range from 5.75% to 11.99%. Borrower Benefits Automated Payment Discount During periods when payments are due, borrowers will be eligible to receive a 0.25 percentage point interest rate reduction on their loan by authorizing our loan servicer to automatically deduct their payments each month from any bank account they designate. Loyalty Benefit Borrowers will be eligible for a 0.25 percentage point interest rate 3 reduction on a new Citizens Bank Student Loan if they or their co-signer (if applicable) has a Citizens Bank Student Loan or qualifying account at the time of application submission. Loan Features Co-signer Release Borrowers may apply for co-signer release after making any 36 consecutive payments on-time. On-time payments are defined as within 15 days of the due date. Lump sum payments do not qualify. In addition, borrowers cannot have used any forbearance prior to receiving the co-signer release benefit. Student borrowers must also meet credit guidelines at the time of application for the release. 4 Loan Forgiveness In the unfortunate event of the student borrower s death or total and permanent disability, the Citizens Bank Student Loan will be forgiven, regardless of whether the loan is co-signed. Past Due Balances - The Citizens Bank Student Loan can be used for past due balances. Loan applications received up to 180 days after the end of the enrollment period will be processed,

In-school deferment length is capped at eight years. Once the initial sixmonth grace period is used, it cannot be reinstated, however if a borrower only uses part of their grace period before re-enrolling, the full six month grace period will be reinstated prior to full repayment. Residency or Internship Program Participation - Student borrowers who enroll in an eligible internship or residency program as defined by Citizens Bank are eligible for a maximum of 48 months of deferment. Military Deferment Student borrowers who are members of the National Guard or the Ready Reserves called to active duty for a period of more than 30 days, or regular activeduty members of the Armed Forces reassigned to another duty station due to a military mobilization, may request a military deferment. During this deferment period, no minimum payments are required. Hardship Forbearance Student borrowers and/or co-signers who are experiencing financial difficulty may temporarily postpone principal and interest repayment through approval of a hardship forbearance. Delinquent accounts may be granted a hardship forbearance to bring the account current in no more than two-month increments, with a maximum of 12 months available during the life of the loan.
5 Citizens Bank Student Loan Multi Year Borrowing Option Many student loan borrowers worry about their ability to secure financing each year through graduation. With the Citizens Bank Student Loan Multi Year Borrowing Option, approved borrowers have access to a simplified, streamlined process to request funds in subsequent years. Terms and conditions apply. 5 If the Citizens Bank Student Loan borrower meets credit qualification requirements, they will be offered an opportunity to take advantage of the Multi Year Borrowing Option during the application process for the Citizens Bank Student Loan. Once approved, the student need only complete the Self-Certification each year and request their loan amount. The loan will immediately be sent for school certification and no further documentation requirements are needed. Of course, borrowers must maintain their credit quality during school, avoid defaults or delinquencies on the loan and continue attending an eligible school.
