With the upcoming elimination of the Grad PLUS program effective July 1st, CHESLA is developing a new and enhanced Connecticut graduate loan solution. This program will offer 5-, 10-, and 15-year repayment terms, along with multiple repayment options to better meet the needs of today’s graduate students. Our new program is on track to launch in May. Stay tuned for more updates!
