Frequently asked questions
What will borrowers need to get started on Summer?
All they will need is their FSA ID which was created when they first took out any federal loans and a proof of income.
What amount of savings will our borrowers reach?
On average, Summer saves borrowers over $30,000 on their total loan. At the kickoff of our partnership we can determine appropriate benchmarks based on the unique qualifiers of the borrower base.
What if a member of their family has loans?
If any borrower has a spouse with loans, or a parent with Parent PLUS loans, Summer can help them.
How do members know their data is secure?
Data security is a vital to the Summer user experience, and the privacy of our users is top priority. All data is encrypted at rest as well as in transit. We maintain two-factor authentication on all secure data system accounts and all data channels are SSL/TLS encrypted.
The Summer program has changed my life which means “CREDIT” score by a whopping 70 points! Five more years of stress have been eliminated with the PSLF waiver! I am forever grateful, I have GREAT CREDIT now! Didn’t really see paying $145K+ off in this lifetime without winning the lottery.
