Earning College Credits is Easier With a Student Line of Credit. If you’re a student, you’ve learned one thing very well—the cost of college is not getting cheaper. Just the opposite, in fact. Solution? Mountain America's Education Line of Credit can help you pay for school expenses not covered by Federal Aid. It’s a private student loan that helps you finance your education if: You do not qualify for Federal Aid. Your school does not offer Federal Stafford Loans. You are attending a trade or specialty school (Cosmetology, Aesthetician, etc.). You are taking continuing education classes. Your cost of attendance exceeds the amount of FAFSA. You are taking certification courses (Truck Driving, Aviation, Helicopter, etc.). Student loans like those from Mountain America Credit Union provide an easy way to pay for educational expenses not covered by federal aid, and to fill the gap between what you owe and what your financial aid covers. These loans are a great follow-up to first-line financial aid sources such as grants and Stafford or PLUS loans, all which are accessible through Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). What You Need to Know About Our Student Loans: No origination fees. No prepayment penalties. Variable interest rate based on prime and your credit worthiness. Maximum loan amount $25,000 ($40,000 for certain schools). Loan amount is determined by the total cost of education, less any other financial aid received.
