Student Loan Program

Student Loan Program

Southbridge Credit Union can now help fund your future!

College is a BIG investment. But don’t worry, we’re here to help you right through graduation. We’ve partnered with LendKey to bring you a great new student loan program. It’s easy to apply and get a quick approval!

Our low cost student loan is designed to meet your education needs.*

  • Competitive interest rates and with good grades, potential for even lower rates
  • .25% interest rate reduction when you sign up for automatic payments
  • No origination fee for all student borrowers

It can be used to pay for qualified education expenses including:

  • Tuition
  • Room and Board
  • Books and Computers

Although we ask that you do make a modest monthly payment while in school, full interest and principal payments are deferred until 6 months after graduation.

Borrow as little as $2,000 or up to Cost of Attendance per academic year for a maximum of $120,000 in undergraduate school loans or $160,000 in graduate school loans.

Federal loans offer more attractive terms when compared to most other borrowing options, including private student loans. For more information on federal loans, visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.

SCU is here to help you succeed after college with student loan refinancing.

  • Cosigner release available for creditworthy borrowers after 12 on-time principal and interest payments
  • Interest-only repayment option up to 4 years followed by standard repayment
  • 0.25% interest rate reduction when you sign up for automatic repayments
  • No origination fee for all student borrowers

Student Loan Refinancing Q&A

Q: What is student loan consolidation?
A: Student loan consolidation allows borrowers the ability to consolidate and refinance one or multiple loans into one loan at a potentially lower interest rate.

Q: Am I eligible?
A: Borrower must meet the following requirements:

  • US citizen or permanent resident
  • Graduated from an eligible school
  • Meet minimum credit requirements

Q: How much can I borrow?
A: Up to $125,000 in undergraduate student loan debt and up to $175,000 in graduate student loan debt.

Q: What is the difference between consolidating and refinancing?
A: Consolidating is combining multiple loans into a single loan and monthly payment while “refinancing” is reducing the interest rate of an existing loan.

Q: What documentation is required?
A: After you are conditionally approved based on credit, you (and your cosigner) may be asked to submit the following documents:

  • Proof of Identity
  • Proof of Graduation
  • Proof of Income
  • Payoff Information

Q: What is a cosigner?
A: A cosigner is a parent, grandparent, guardian or other adult who is creditworthy and willing to assume legal responsibility for the loan liabilities along with you. The cosigner must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident.

Q: Is a cosigner required to obtain student loan refinancing?
A: In some instances, a cosigner is required. A creditworthy cosigner increases the likelihood of your loan approval and may lead to a lower loan rate. Creditworthy borrowers that meet the credit requirements may apply without a cosigner.

“The level of service I recently received from Jordan Hoy at Southbridge Credit Union was truly above and beyond any banking service I have ever experienced. To have someone go the extra mile on my behalf has given me confidence to expect nothing but the best from Jordan and the credit union in general.”

Chris LaBonteSCU Member

“Since becoming a member of SCU, I have expanded my perspective on small financial institutions, and I will never go back. The friendliness of the staff and the warm community feeling has been wonderfully apparent. I was most impressed recently when my husband and I went through the process of buying our first home. Every step was handled professionally and with friendly, prompt service by Lisa Gatzke and her team. Add to that the fact that no other bank could beat the rates and give us the special accommodations we needed, and it was obvious who we wanted to work with! Thank you Southbridge Credit Union for making our first home-buying experience easy, pleasant, and smooth!”

Michelle AndersonSCU Member

“When you are part of Southbridge Credit Union, you have access to world class benefits – low rates, exceptional service (I cannot stress this enough) and the products and services you deserve as a member. Here, you can expect access to your money the way you want and when you want it. So whether it’s online, on your mobile device, in person, or at an ATM, they have what you need. After being a member for over 40 years, I still feel the personalization of a small bank to where it has grown to today.”

Robert L. PoirierSCU Member

“Angie was very helpful and professional when I applied for a first mortgage and later, for a home equity loan. I had a great experience on both occasions, and she was very efficient processing all the associated paperwork. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly helpful professional to assist with any lending needs.”

Bob CournoyerSCU Member

“I have been a customer of Southbridge Credit Union for the past seven years. After shopping for a mortgage online (Quicken, Lending Tree, etc.) I then looked at local lending institutions. What I discovered was SCU had the lowest rates of all. In addition to my mortgage, I now have a home equity line of credit and two auto loans. SCU’s rates are competitive and the bank personnel are always pleasant and willing to help to meet the needs of the customer. The customer service is second to none at SCU and I will continue to do business with them in the future.”
