You know the value of a college education.
Getting a college degree is a worthwhile goal. College
graduates make an average of one million dollars more than those without college
degrees (www.studentloanfacts.org).
But the cost of a college education can be overwhelming for
both students and parents. That’s why Sidney Federal Credit Union offers Federal
Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) loans. If you or another family member
plans to attend a university, technical college, or any specialized training
program, Sidney Federal Credit Union can help you with the funding you need to
pursue your dreams.
FFELP offers loans for students and
parents.
Stafford
Loans
o
The
subsidized
Federal Stafford Loan is based on financial need. The government pays the
interest while you are in school.
o
The unsubsidized Federal
Stafford Loan is not based on need but family income is a determining factor. You
pay all the interest, although you can have the payments deferred until after
graduation.
PLUS (Parental Loan for Undergraduate Students) Loans
Creditworthy parents of dependent undergraduate students can apply
for this loan, which is not based on need.
