WNA has partnered with Laurel Road to offer resources that can help nurses manage and potentially reduce the burden of student loans. With access to educational tools, personalized consultations, and exclusive refinancing rates, you can take control of your student debt. Refinancing through Laurel Road may allow you to consolidate your loans into a single, manageable payment, often at a lower rate. Plus, WNA members can enjoy an additional 0.25% rate discount or a $300 cash bonus when using the link below.
Laurel Road's quick and easy online application lets you see preliminary rates in just minutes—without affecting your credit score and with no obligation to proceed. There are no application fees, and you can even set up automatic payments to receive an extra 0.25% rate discount.
If you’re pursuing Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF), you might be eligible for credit on payments that didn’t previously qualify. WNA members can take advantage of a free 30-minute session with a GradFin specialist and receive a $50 discount on an annual membership with GradFin for PSLF services.
With the federal student loan payment pause ending, interest on loans resumed on September 1st, and payments were due starting October 2023. We understand the complexities and concerns that come with this transition. That’s why WNA and Laurel Road have teamed up to offer an informative webinar to help you navigate the next steps. Learn more about the tools and resources available to WNA members—some of which are exclusive—by registering for the webinar and watching it on demand.
