Increasing education costs coupled with decreasing scholarship and grant opportunities have forced families to turn to private student loans to cover the cost of higher education.


Somerville Municipal FCU recognizes the challenges its members face when trying to pay for college, and we’re committed to offering our members access to affordable student loan financing.

Private Student Loan & Student Loan Consolidation

We have partnered with a trusted credit union industry alliance, LendKey, to provide the Somerville Municipal FCU Private Student Loan Program and Student Loan Consolidation Program. The Private Student Program loan can be utilized for any education-related expense such as tuition, room and board, books, supplies and other educational items. The Student Loan Consolidation Program allows you to consolidate your loans into one, low monthly payment.

Somerville Municipal FCU Private Student Loan features:

  • No application fee
  • Competitive interest rates
  • Borrow as little as $2,000 or up to Cost of Attendance per year for a maximum of $120,000 in undergraduate loans or $160,000 in graduate loans
  • Choose between making interest payments or a nominal $25 “Proactive Payment” towards the loan while in school

Prior to considering a private student loan, both Somerville Municipal FCU and LendKey strongly encourage all student borrowers to first exhaust all scholarships, grants and federal loans.
