Make paying for your higher education easy with a Student Loan from America First Credit Union. America First Student Loans are guaranteed by the federal government and you receive the full amount of your loan upon approval. America First offers the following types of Student Loans:
Once you're enrolled in a federally accredited school, you can apply. Here's how:
For student loan interest rates, call Utah Higher Education Assistance (UHEAA) at 1-877-336-7378.
For questions about local college and university student loan requirements, please contact the financial aid office at the school you plan to attend. For other questions, please call our student loan representatives at (801) 827-8148, or toll free 1-800-999-3961 ext. 8148, or Utah Higher Education Assistance (UHEAA) at 1-877-336-7378.
In a subsidized Stafford loan, the government pays interest while you are in school, during grace periods, and in case of any other deferment. Unsubsidized loans carry interest from the time it is disbursed until it is paid in full. You will start paying on all Stafford loans six months after graduating from or leaving school.
Stafford Loan Credit Limits:
For graduate or professional student credit limits, contact Utah Higher Education Assistance (UHEAA) at 1-877-336-7378.
These loans work well for parents with good credit who have students enrolled in at least half a full course load. Parents can finance the full cost of your education, minus the amount funded by grants or other aid. Repayment begins 30 to 60 days after disbursement.
Extends eligibility for PLUS Loans to graduate and professional students. Eligibility criteria remain, including credit checks and no in-school status. However, students would be eligible for an in-school deferment.
We also offer a large selection of college planning calculators to assist you in achieving your higher education goals.
Student loan interest rates are low and carry tax benefits, but the financial burden is significant. Always research all your funding options.
