Earning College Credits is Easier With a Student Line of Credit. If you’re a student, you’ve learned one thing very well—the cost of college is not getting cheaper. Just the opposite, in fact. Solution? Mountain America's Education Line of Credit can help you pay for school expenses not covered by Federal Aid. It’s a private student loan that helps you finance your education if: You do not qualify for Federal Aid. Your school does not offer Federal Stafford Loans. You are attending a trade or specialty school (Cosmetology, Aesthetician, etc.). You are taking continuing education classes. Your cost of attendance exceeds the amount of FAFSA.

Variable interest rate based on prime and your credit worthiness. Maximum loan amount $25,000 ($40,000 for certain schools). Loan amount is determined by the total cost of education, less any other financial aid received. Interest-only payments while still in school. Maximum, interest-only loan term of six years (72 months), converting to interest plus principal thereafter. A cosigner is often required. Must submit grades or a progress report to Mountain America every six months.
