The 0.25% American Psychological Association (APA) member rate discount is
offered for applications from active APA members. The rate discount will end
if APA notifies Laurel Road that borrower is no longer in good standing. Offer
cannot be combined with other offers, except any discount for making automatic
payments. The member discount will not reduce the monthly payment; instead,
the discount is applied to the principal to help pay the loan down faster.
