Make Your College Dreams a Reality With a CU Student H.E.L.P. Loan!

At Elm River Credit Union, we understand that college tuition, fees and room and board can add up. But, the college experience is worth every penny. That’s why we have partnered with the CU Student Higher Education Loan Program (CU Student H.E.L.P.) to offer a private student loan program for undergraduate, graduate and continuing education students.

We encourage all of our members to maximize scholarships, grants, and federal loans before applying for a private student loan. If these sources of aid fall short, a CU Student H.E.L.P. loan can help. Whether you need a little money to help pay college expenses or have to cover your entire Cost of Education, a CU Student H.E.L.P. loan can help you get the money you need to pay for college.
