Frequently Asked Questions (pdf)

The Coastal Federal loan program is different from other student loan programs in several ways:

• You are applying for a line of credit with a local financial institution/credit union.A credit union is a bit different from a traditional bank in that you must become a "member" and establish a small savings account of $25 to utilize their loan services.
  
• Coastal is a successful and long-standing financial institution but new to the student lending world.We are very pleased that they have chosen to partner with Fuqua to fund our international student lending needs.
  
• As you are now applying for a line of credit to cover your entire educational experience.
  
• Lastly but importantly, Fuqua has agreed to guarantee this cohort of student loans to obtain favorable rates for our international students.This means that Fuqua will be required to pay any defaulted loans, and as such, will take a personal interest in following up on delinquent payments and in collection.We are making this investment because we have confidence the international students chosen to attend Fuqua will make payment of their student loans a top priority.
