The Chase Health Education Program is a portfolio of loan products for graduate students who are pursuing healthcare careers. The competitive options include a Health Stafford loan, a Health Grad PLUS loan and a Chase SelectSM Graduate Health Professions Loan. These loans can help you cover all the needs associated with graduate healthcare studies.*

Chase Health Stafford Loan

Stafford loans are a popular source of federal student aid. While the government regulates these loans, lenders like Chase provide the funding. Subsidized Stafford loans are awarded based on financial need and the government pays the interest while you are in school, grace and deferment. Even if you don't have demonstrated financial need, you may be eligible for an unsubsidized Stafford loan.

Benefits include:

  • 0.25% interest rate reduction for having monthly payments automatically deducted from your bank account (ACH) by Chase

Benefits include:

  • 0.25% interest rate reduction for having monthly payments automatically deducted from your bank account (ACH) by Chase

  • No origination or repayment fees
  • 0.25% interest rate reduction for having monthly payments automatically deducted from your bank account (ACH) by Chase

*Important Information: Federal Loans—For loans that are guaranteed on or after June 1, 2008, the 0.25% interest rate reduction is available to borrowers in repayment who elect to have their monthly payments automatically deducted from a bank account by Chase. This interest rate reduction will begin when the borrower enrolls and begins having payments automatically deducted by Chase and will remain in effect as long as automatic payments continue without interruption. The reduced interest rate will return to the non-discounted rate if automatic payments are canceled, rejected or returned for any reason or during periods of deferment or forbearance. The 0.25% interest rate reduction will not lower the monthly payment amount but will instead reduce the interest that accrues, thereby reducing the total amount repaid and the time in which the loan is repaid. Chase may sell this loan to the U.S. Department of Education, and the U.S. Department of Education may continue to honor this automatic payment interest rate reduction. Visit ChaseStudentLoans.com/rates for current interest rates. Generally, Stafford and Grad PLUS borrowers have up to 10 years (excluding periods of authorized deferment and forbearance) to repay their loans. New borrowers after October 7, 1998, whose total outstanding principal and interest in Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) loans exceeds $30,000, may repay on a level or graduated repayment plan for a period that may not exceed 25 years. There are no penalties for early repayment of FFELP loans. Contact Chase to learn more about repayment term options. Terms and conditions apply. Benefit programs are subject to change. Loans are subject to submission of a completed application, credit approval and other required documentation and verification, as applicable.
**Chase Select loans are subject to credit approval, receipt of a completed and signed loan application/promissory note and self-certification form, verification of application information, acceptance of loan terms, and school certification of loan amount and student's enrollment at a Chase-participating school.

The borrower must meet credit criteria at the time of cosigner release. Other terms and conditions apply. Benefit programs are subject to change.
Maximum annual loans up to cost of attendance, minus other aid, as certified by the school. Aggregate maximum loan limits apply.
