Santa Clara University

A new, innovative alternative to private/alternative educational loans is provided through GreenNote, a company that helps students connect with their own social networks for help financing their college education.

Using the GreenNote online platform, students connect with friends, family, friends of family, community leaders and others-asking for small student loans for as little as $100. GreenNote helps formalize everything into legally binding loans and handles all the details from loan documentation through repayment.

Terms of a GreenNote loan are similar to those of a federal unsubsidized Stafford loan, with a 10-year repayment period, a fixed 6.8% interest rate and in-school deferment.
