Student Loan Amounts
We know there are many expenses for attending school beyond tuition. Student loan amounts are based on what your school certifies you are eligible to receive. Your school calculates eligibility by deducting the amount of all other aid you will receive from the annual cost of attendance. The annual cost of attendance is determined by your school and includes tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and other expenses.We can only approve and issue loans up to the amount certified by your school.
The NMEAF private student loan annual amounts are:
- Minimum: $2,000
- Maximum: $20,000
- Total Maximum: $100,000

Why We Don’t Offer Variable Interest Rates
We’d rather focus on your financial stability than make money off you. We want to invest in your education and your future. Variable interest rates change over time. Due to this, your monthly payments will change as well. Fluctuating payments make it difficult to budget and plan for the future. Many students end up paying much more and take much longer to pay off loans due to rate increases with variable interest rate loans.Text Area:
