Student graduating after receiving NIHFCU Student Loans

Thank you!

I attended a very expensive university because my parents always encouraged me to follow my dreams regardless of the cost, and this was the best school for me. A Student Choice line of credit from my credit union made it possible for me to live out that dream.
