Loans
How you will afford to pay for a higher education is a difficult question. When it comes to big-ticket items you have to pay for in your lifetime, it doesn’t get much bigger than higher education.
Indeed, predictions are that college tuition will increase by about twice the rate of general inflation, year after year.
So, how to pay for your education? There are lots of answers, but the most usual involves applying for federally funded Student Loans, which may take more time and energy than you bargained for, only to find out you can’t qualify based on the financial need criteria as defined by the federal government. Then what?
Help is at hand. For wanna-be college students (and their parents) who could benefit from a financial leg-up in this department, Tarrant County Credit Union has an easy answer. We’ve created an affordable in-house student loan program to take away some of the burden of getting your immediate educational finances in order.
- Student may apply for up to $4,000 per semester
- A guarantor, preferably a parent or guardian, will be required to co-sign the loan
- The cost of each additional semester will be added to the existing balance of the loan; maximum loan is $30,000 per student
- Terms based on amount borrowed – maximum term 120 months
