With the exams done and dusted and the wait for results started there is fantastic news for all college bound students! Drogheda Credit Union with branches in Bettystown, Drogheda & Trim have a new reduced rate on their stu-dent loans. Since launching this new rate there has been a huge uptake, and why wouldn’t there be with the average cost for a student to go to college being over €11,000 to in-clude fees, transport, accommodation, liv-ing expenses etc this will take the pressure off some students and their families. “We need to look after the next genera-tion”, commented Tom Kiely, CEO from Drogheda CU. “The Credit Union is about our community & members and if we can help students along their education path then that simply is what we will do”. Simply log onto www.droghedacu.ie for details or pick up the info in one of their branches. Loan applications can also be started on-line to save time and to take the hassle out of applying. “We get lots of enquiries about student loans this time of year so it’s great to be able to let students and parents aware of the reduced rate.” commented Patricia White, Marketing Officer for DCU “This loan is for all types of third level ed-ucation from college places, apprentices, masters, PLC courses etc. If in doubt just call into us for a chat”. The Credit Union as the saying goes, “does things differently” so if it’s to en-quire about the new rate on our student loans or any of our other member services drop into your local branch or go onto www.droghedacu.ie. §DroghedaCredit Union Ltd.Student Loans 5.9%(6.08% apr)1.
