We highly recommend students apply for and utilize all federal student aid programs through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.gov prior to applying for any private student loan. 1st University Credit Union’s student loan program is offered through partnership with Colleging and is not a federal student loan program. Unless you are a current account holder, you must agree to open an account at 1st University Credit Union before any loan proceeds are sent to your school.
