Education Loans - Connecticut Only

Financing a college education may be challenging. We offer Home Equity Credit Line & Loans, in addition to other financing possibilities that help to put the focus on education and not the finances.

People's United Bank and the Connecticut Student Loan Foundation of Rocky Hill, Connecticut (CSLF), are pleased to offer you the benefits of the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP).

By choosing People's United Bank, your application will be sent directly to CSLF for quick and efficient processing (most decision are made within 24 hours). You are also eligible for automatic savings!
