FAFSA
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 a 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.
College is a big step — financing it shouldn’t be a huge leap. At 1st University Credit Union, we offer undergraduate and graduate student loans, parent loans, and refinancing options with competitive rates, flexible repayment terms, and personal guidance every step of the way. We’re proud to support students and families attending Baylor University, McLennan Community College, and the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, as well as others throughout the region. Based in Waco, we proudly serve the Central Texas community, including McLennan, Erath, and Bosque counties.
