Growing College Costs -
Help For Students and Parents
While a college
education is certainly getting more valuable, getting it isn't
becoming any cheaper! Students living away from home will pay
on average $10,458.00 (annually) to attend four-year public colleges,
and $22,553.00 (annually) at private four-year schools for tuition,
fees, books, transportation, housing, and other expenses. CUMCO
Federal Credit offers a wide range of financial services to help
students and parents meet the growing cost of a college education.
The
credit union difference. Credit unions are non-profit
cooperatives where members are the owners. Credit unions are committed
to member education and member service, offering those services
members value most. Here is a list of services we offer for college-bound
students.
Student
Loans. We offer subsidized and unsubsidized Federal Stafford
loans and PLUS loans for parents.
ATM
Services. ATMs are the preferred method for many people
who wish to get cash out of their accounts these days. We offer
ATM cards so you can access your accounts quickly and conveniently.
Credit.
A credit card can help with the unforeseen expenses of attending
college. CUMCO FCU offers a VISA credit card with a fixed rate
of 9.00% APR.
Share
Accounts. A share account is essential for you to obtain
ATM services.
Checking
Accounts. A checking account can help you manage your
money while on campus. We offer a checking account with no monthly
service charge and no per check fee.
Virtual
Branch. We offer internet access to your accounts at
no charge to you. You can manage your accounts on-line right from
any computer with internet access.
Loan
Services. In some instances, financial aid, student loans,
and credit cards, are not enough to cover college costs. If you
need additional funds, we offer home equity and personal loans
for you or your parents to meet these expenses.
