Make College A Reality with SDFCU!
Lender Code: 827196


We believe there’s no better investment than education. However, the cost of a college education can be overwhelming for both students and parents. That’s why SDFCU 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, SDFCU can help you with the funding you need to pursue your dreams. To find out more or to apply, please visit www.mygreatlakes.org.

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.
