Private Student Loans for College

Preparing for college in Indiana, Ohio, or beyond. 3Rivers offers private student loans for undergraduates attending accredited institutions. Fund tuition, fees, textbooks, housing, and other qualified educational expenses.

How 3Rivers Student Loans Work

Borrow funds within an approved range, with competitive variable interest rates. While you’re in school during the draw period, you can choose interest-only payments to help minimize balance growth or defer payments, with interest accruing during that time. After graduation, repayment begins with a structured term. Loan modification options may be available when you enter repayment.

Private Loan Benefits
  • Variable rate tied to Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, reviewed monthly
  • Interest-only or deferred payment flexibility during enrollment
  • Zero penalties for early payoff—pay off sooner and save thousands 

Student Loan Refinancing Options

Already have student loans from other lenders? Refinancing with 3Rivers helps you secure lower interest rates, reduce monthly payments, consolidate multiple loans into one simple payment, or adjust repayment terms to fit your budget and goals.

Why Refinance Student Loans

Refinancing replaces your existing loans with a new loan that may offer more favorable terms. You can consolidate eligible federal and private student loans into one loan with a fixed interest rate and choose from a range of repayment term options based on your needs.

Refinancing Advantages
  • Consolidate multiple loan payments into one simple monthly bill 
  • Fixed interest rates provide predictable payments throughout loan term 
  • No prepayment penalties—make extra payments anytime to save on interest 
  • $149 loan processing fee with complete transparency on all costs 
  • Minimum refinancing amounts start at $5,000 for qualified borrowers
