Student Loans

Planning To Go To College?

As your BFF (best financial friend), Ascentra offers supplemental private student loans through an exclusive partnership with Aspire Servicing Center.

Combined with traditional student loans, financial aid, and scholarships, we help our members get financial assistance for the increasing costs of higher education.

Accepting a private loan before utilizing other types of aid available may decrease your eligibility for federal, state, and institutional aid. It's important that you apply for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (known as FAFSA), before applying for the Ascentra Credit Union Private Student Loan Program.

After completing your FAFSA, you and your co-signer can contact College Finance Advisors at 844-268-2203 for further guidance and assistance on student loans.

For Ascentra Members: Ascentra Scholarship Program
