More than tuition, more than a loan
Introduction
Tuition, books, housing, food, gas, laptop – there are plenty of costs that scholarships, grants, and government loans don't cover, and most students need help filling the gaps.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Student Choice, because their support for students goes beyond the loan. We want to help scholars and parents understand financial aid and choose the funding that works best for them.
Feel free to explore our resources, including:
- Scholarship advice
- Guides to refinancing
- One on one support from college counselors
- Webinars to help you through the process
...and see why a Student Choice loan may be right for you!
Student Choice Loans
What is the Student Choice loan?
The Student Choice Loan is a private education line of credit created for college students to fill the gap in financial aid that is left between the Cost of Attendance (COA) and federal loans or aid.
Private loans like the Student Choice Loan are not offered through the federal government, so it's important to look for a loan program from an institution you trust, like Visions. Unlike federal student aid, private loans are not guaranteed or subsidized by the government. Instead, they are based on the credit score of the student and/or the credit score of any co-signer on the loan.
Why choose Student Choice?
- Zero origination or prepayment fees
- Competitive interest rates
- Option to defer all payments while in school
- Possible funding through your entire college career
- Flexible repayment terms
- Low rates and fewer fees that could save hundreds of dollars a year
With this private education line of credit, you can secure funding for your entire undergraduate career with just one application!* In future academic years, simply request funds from your line (called a “draw”) for the amount you need – no need to reapply! And with convenient repayment terms and in-school deferment, we’ll help you successfully manage repayment after college.
*Subject to annual review and credit qualification. Visit visionsfcu.studentchoice.org for full details.
