Need money for school?

First Financial Bank is committed to helping students and their parents with the dream of a college education. We know that financing college can be a confusing and intimidating process. The Student Loan Department at First Financial Bank is committed to simplifying this process and providing you with the resources and personal assistance needed to create the Financial Aid package that is best suited for the needs of your family.

Stafford Loan

Subsidized Stafford Loan
The federal government pays the interest while the student is in school or during the grace period. This loan is need-based. The federal government pays the interest as long as the student is enrolled at least 50% of the time.

Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
The student must pay or capitalize the interest during the borrower's in-school status.

Annual loan amounts depend on financial need and academic classification (as determined by your school's Office of Financial Aid) can be repaid over several years with payments starting six months after graduation or after dropping below half-time enrollment; subject to a required minimum payment.
