Want to cover the cost of your college fees until you graduate?
Well you can, with a fixed repayment and a term that suits your pocket.
Let us help you with a student loan from Ashbourne Credit Union.
How it works?
We will assess you for the full amount of your course. Each year we will release the annual cost to cover each year’s fees. A meeting will be conducted with a loan officer each year for an update on your circumstances. As some students may not be in employment throughout their college years, we may require a guarantor.
