If your school district or educational institution is one of our Select Employer Groups, you may qualify for a long list of financial benefits. These include savings programs, discounted loans, and funding for classroom materials and activities
For many people, an education career is a lifetime commitment. But it often provides a paycheck only 9 or 10 months out of each year. With this special savings program, you set aside cash during the academic calendar and then have access to it during the summer.
* APY=Annual Percentage Yield. Rate may change without notice. The minimum deposit amount each month is $50 and the minimum account balance required to earn the advertised annual percentage yield is $50. There is a $2,500 per month maximum deposit limit into the account. Contact the Credit Union for complete details. Please note: Members with a Christmas Club and a Summertime Savings are allowed a combined maximum deposit of $2,500 per month into both accounts. Fees could reduce earnings. See the Credit Union for clarification.
Bring your classroom to life by unleashing your creativity and engaging students with innovative classroom ideas. A Foothill Classroom Improvement Grant can help turn those ideas into a reality!
When educators sign up for Summertime Savings, they set aside money during the academic year to see them through the paycheck-challenged summer months. Our Educator Plus account is the ideal landing spot for your money after your Summertime Savings accounts reach maturity.
*Funds withdrawn after 30 days will incur a $5 fee. Transfers only from Summertime Savings.
Good teachers are always coming up with fresh ways to inspire their students. But there's often no extra money in classroom budgets to bring these great ideas to life. At Foothill Credit Union, we offer low-cost (or no-cost) loans that can cover the costs of special programs, supplies or educational materials.
* 0% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) requires a direct deposit of $500 or more into a Foothill Checking Account and automatic payments. If direct deposit and autopay requirements are not met, the rate will be 2.90%. Sample monthly payment for a $1,000 loan at 2.90% for 12 months is $85.
Foothill Credit Union awards annual scholarships of up to $3,000 to members looking to advance their educational careers. The scholarships are awarded annually.
Not long ago, blackboards, pencils and notebooks were good enough. But in the 21st century, personal computers and laptops are necessary teaching tools. At Foothill Credit Union, we offer low-interest loans that help educators acquire the latest technology.
