You’ve got an amazing future ahead of you!


Start planning for college now.

At Wescom, we believe that money should never be an obstacle to attending — and graduating from — college. We’re a member-owned not-for-profit financial cooperative, dedicated to helping Southern Californians like you build better financial futures. And that includes helping students and families make their college dreams a reality.

Understand Your Financial Aid Options.

Figuring out how to pay for college can feel overwhelming — especially with all the different terms you’ll be hearing. But it doesn’t have to be that way – not when our interactive video explains it all to you. It only takes a few minutes so why not watch now?

Fill a Gap Between Financial Aid and Tuition.

Wescom’s Smart Option Student Loan® by Sallie Mae® can be an ideal solution to help families pay for college expenses not covered by scholarships, grants and federal loans. With three repayment options and competitive interest rates, the Smart Option Student Loan even offers a reduced interest rate when automatic payment is set up. Learn more.

It Can Pay to Do Your Homework.

In addition to need-based financial aid, many colleges also offer merit scholarships. There are also lots of scholarships awarded by private organizations and foundations, so it’s definitely worth investing some time researching — and applying for — different scholarships.

Open an Account and Reach Your Financial Goals.

Wescom created a special account — the GenEdge Account — to help young adults ages 15 through 17 learn how to build wealth, maintain it, and use the tools to reach their financial goals. It includes an option to open a College Saver Certificate so you can start earning dividends for the cost of your college education. Visit any of our branch locations to open an account. See details.

Official Banking Partner of UCLA Athletics.
