First Interstate Bank has partnered with the nonprofit organization,
Montana's Choice Student Loan Programs.
Having difficulties paying for postsecondary education? Montana's
Choice student loans can help. Choose from an array of loans to meet
your individual needs!
- Montana's Choice Stafford Federal Loans — A Stafford Federal
Loan is one of the most affordable financial aid tools available
to students with interest rates lower than most other forms of financing.
Payments are deferred until after graduation.
- Montana's Choice PLUS Federal Loans — PLUS Federal Loans are
available to parents of full or part-time dependent, undergraduate
students. The parent, not the student, is responsible for repayment
of these fixed-rate loans. The loans have no aggregate limit, meaning
a parent can borrow as much as needed to pay for their child's education
less other financial aid received for the academic year.
- Graduate PLUS Federal Loans — A Graduate PLUS Federal Loan is
an affordable, fixed-interest loan for graduate and professional
students. To qualify for this loan, students must be attending school
at least half time and have applied for the maximum amount available
in the Federal Stafford Program.
Montana's Choice Student Loans are a product of the Montana Higher
Education Student Assistance Corporation (MHESAC). All MHESAC loans
are serviced and administered by Student Assistance Foundation.
