Whether you’re pursuing a degree yourself or are helping cover tuition and expenses for a loved one, we’re here to help with student loans offered in partnership with Sallie Mae®.* Read on to learn which loan is right for you.

We encourage students and families to start with savings, grants, scholarships, and federal student loans to pay for college. Students and families should evaluate all anticipated monthly loan payments, as well as how much the student expects to earn in the future, before considering a private student loan.

These loans are made by Sallie Mae Bank or a lender partner. The District Credit Union is not the creditor for these loans and is compensated by Sallie Mae for the referral of loan customers.

The borrower, cosigner and student must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. The school may refund loan funds directly to the student, and if that occurs, borrower, and cosigner (if applicable) would still be responsible for repaying that amount.

Although we do not charge you a penalty or fee if you prepay your loan, any prepayment will be applied as provided in your promissory note: First to Unpaid Fees and costs, then to Unpaid Interest, and then to Current Principal.
