PLEASE NOTE, THAT MEMBER MUST BE A FULL TIME STUDENT (AT LEAST TWELVE CREDIT HOURS) TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A LOAN.
An applicant cannot receive more than four such loans. Due to the great demand for these loans, the maximum amount granted to each student is $1,000.00 per school year.
The loans are only applied towards the tuition, if the applicant is approved. The check is made payable to the student and the school. Therefore, these loans can only be given after the student is registered in a College.
