	STUDENT LOANS
05)	Most of our students obtain their own financing.  In an effort to help students when other funding sources are not available, read the options below.
	If you are working and have a Beacon score of 700 or higher: Umpqua Bank Loans Please contact the Umpqua Branch we use directly at 503-658-3515. Indicate you are interested in obtaining a loan to attend our program.
	For those of you with not so good credit   IITR INTERNAL STUDENT LOANS Our IITR INTERNAL STUDENT LOAN program may help students with less than perfect credit attend our program. Be aware there are much cheaper ways of financing your tuition if your credit allows. Our IITR INTERNAL STUDENT LOAN requires a minimum down payment of $500.00 and we charge a non-refundable application fee of $25 to review your credit (and/or your cosigners).  Additionally, we charge a loan fee of $300 (financed in the loan if you’d like) and an interest rate of 18% per annum. Although these fee’s and rates are high, it is often the only chance for someone with less than perfect credit to attend IITR. Cosigners are encouraged and may be necessary to receive an IITR INTERNAL STUDENT LOAN. IITR INTERNAL STUDENT LOANS are required to be repaid using an Automatic Repayment method by automatically debiting your checking, savings, debit or credit card on the same day of every month.  NO EXCEPTIONS If you have an interest in applying for an IITR INTERNAL STUDENT LOAN, speak to an Admissions Recruiter for additional information.
	It is noteworthy to mention that most over-the-road trucking companies we place our graduates with have what is usually referred to as a “TUITION REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM”.  These programs are a hiring incentive and pay a monthly amount, usually between $100 and $150 directly to the driver as a Sign-On Bonus intended to be applied to the drivers student loan.  We encourage our graduate to make an additional payment themselves so the loan is paid off quicker and save them interest.  Once the loan is paid off, the trucking company will continue to pay the driver the monthly amount until the driver recoups the cost of attending IITR.

"Tuition Reimbursement Program"
Many trucking companies have a tuition reimbursement program. This program makes a graduate's tuition loan payment once the graduate starts working for the trucking company. It is in addition to wages and is considered a sign-on bonus. Many students take advantage of these programs and end up with the trucking company paying off their entire loan over time. To find out more about this program, see the Director of Job Placement.
