Details and Features
Rate discount available
Get a 0.25 percentage point interest rate reduction when you enroll and make monthly payments by auto debit.
Borrower or cosigner must enroll in auto debit through M&T Bank's servicer, Sallie Mae to receive a 0.25 percentage point interest rate reduction benefit. This benefit applies only during active repayment for as long as the Current Amount Due or Designated Amount is successfully withdrawn from the authorized bank account each month and may be suspended during periods of forbearance or deferment, if available for the loan.
Borrow what you need
Borrow from $1,000 up to 100% of your school-certified expenses for graduate loans. For post-graduate loans, borrowing amounts are different.
Loan amount cannot exceed the cost of attendance less financial aid received as certified by the school. M&T Bank reserves the right to approve a lower loan amount than the school-certified amount. Miscellaneous personal expenses (such as a laptop) may be included in the cost of attendance for students enrolled at least half time.
No origination fee
No origination fee or penalty for paying off your loan before its due date.
Although we do not charge a penalty or fee if you prepay your loan, any prepayment will be applied as outlined in your promissory note—first to Unpaid Fees and costs, then to Unpaid Interest, and then to Current Principal.
Choose your graduate loan repayment option
Choose one of the following repayment options as part of the graduate loans application process. Post-graduate loans have different repayment terms.
