STUDENT LOAN

Make College a Reality
Get Your Student Loan from Universal City Studios Credit Union

Lender Code: 833472

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 Universal City Studios 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, Universal City Studios Credit Union can help you with the funding you need to pursue your dreams .

FFELP offers loans for students and parents.

  • Stafford Loans
    The subsidized Federal Stafford Loan is based on financial need. The government pays the interest while you are in school. 
    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.
  • Grad PLUS Loans
    Creditworthy parents of dependent undergraduate students and graduate/professional students can apply for this loan, which is not based on need.

Learn more about low-interest federal student loans.
Refer to the Student Loan Quick Reference Guide for more details on Stafford and PLUS Loans including:

  • the application process
  • current rates
  • loan limits
  • toll-free numbers to check the status of your loan account


How to obtain a federal student loan
1. Complete a FAFSA
Before you begin applying for a Stafford and/or PLUS Loan, you must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). It must be completed for each academic year that you request federal aid. FAFSAs for the upcoming academic year are available online on or after January 2. Contact your school for their application deadline.
 
2. Receive your SAR
Once your FAFSA is processed, a Student Aid Report (SAR) is created. If you completed your FAFSA online, allow 1-2 weeks for you and your school to receive the SAR electronically. Paper FAFSAs take 6-8 weeks to process.
 
3. Receive your Award Letter
Your school(s) use data from your SAR to determine your financial aid award for the current academic year and send you an award letter by e-mail or US Mail. (If your letter mentions the William D. Ford Direct Lending Program, contact your school for the appropriate promissory note.)
 
4. Complete a Master Promissory Note
Apply fast and easy on-line and receive answers to frequently asked questions.
