Graduates, Take Control Of Your Student Debt

Do you have student loan debt after graduating college? You can combine your federal and private student loans into one easy payment. With Zeal Credit Union, you can choose from several rate and term options and create a loan that works for you and your current income. 

 

*Refinancing Federal Student Loans: Please be aware that you may potentially lose certain benefits associated with your federal student loans by refinancing such federal loans with a private student loan consolidation. These benefits may include favorable repayment options, loan and fixed interest rates, extended loan terms, and loan forgiveness. We strongly advise that you seek professional advice and examine the benefits and options before refinancing your federal loans. It is important to us that you are comfortable with potentially forfeiting benefits that may not be offered through our consolidation loan.

Private Student Loans (In-School) for College Students

Use your private student loans from Zeal Credit Union to cover a variety of education costs. Covered expenses could include tuition, room and board, books, and other school-related expenses.
