Union Federal Private Student Loans at a Glance

Union Federal Private Student Loans at a Glance

A Union Federal Private Student Loan covers up to 100% of your school-certified cost of attendance, which typically includes things like tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, transportation and personal expenses.

Eligibility requirements for the student

  • Be enrolled at an eligible institution in a degree-granting program 10
  • Be the legal age of majority, or at least 17 years of age at the time of application if applying with a cosigner who meets the age of majority requirements in the cosigner’s state of residence 11
  • Be a U.S. citizen, a permanent resident alien, an Eligible Non-Citizen (DACA resident) applying with an eligible cosigner who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien, or an international student applying with an eligible cosigner who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien

Applying with a cosigner increases your chance of approval by 4 times, and if your cosigner has good credit history, you may get a better rate. A cosigner can be an eligible parent, guardian, friend, etc.

We now offer prequalification! 1 You and your cosigner can now quickly check your rate without any impact to your credit scores.

You can use this checklist to help you complete that process.

  • Personal information (name, Social Security number, date of birth)
  • Address (mailing address and permanent address)
  • Phone number(s)
  • Email address
  • School information (name of school, cost of attendance, grade level, expected graduation date)
  • Loan information (amount needed and when)
  • Income information for the cosigner or student (on a cosigned loan, income is not required of the student but is of the cosigner; for a student applying on their own, income is required of the student)

Take a moment to consider the best way for you to pay back your loan.
