 Education Loans
Third level education, for people living in Kilkenny, often means that the student must leave home and find accommodation. This can incur huge costs on families, particularly if there is more that one family member at college at the same time! As well as the cost of accommodation, there are books, travel, food and, very often, fees to be considered. St Canice’s Kilkenny Credit Union has a flexible, low cost education package which is available to members and their families. The interest rate is only 7.2% (7.46% APR variable) per annum on the reducing balance.
How does the scheme work? A joint account is opened in the parent’s and the student’s name. Ideally both the parent and student save in this account. The amount borrowed under the Education Loan Package is not based on shares. The loan may be collected as needed over the academic year.
The repayment term is based on three, four or five years, whichever is the most appropriate for you. Ideally the first year is based on a term of three years or less.
The payments for the second year are based on the term of four years or less and third and fourth year repayments are based on a term of up to five years. Each year the outstanding balance from previous years can be rolled into the new loan.
Remember,
The credit union loan package is totally flexible as regards the length of time you take to repay the loan, subject to a maximum of five years. Ideally the student will repay substantial amounts each summer. Finding a summer job at home, or even abroad, if a realistic goal. (The reduced rate education loan is subject to terms and conditions)
