November 1 - November 30, 2009: A partner in education, Schools First Federal Credit Union (SchoolsFirst FCU) has created a special loan program to help finance your purchases through the OCDE Technology Purchase Program. Once you have decided which computer and/or peripherals you want to purchase, the vendor will provide you with a total. You must fill out the credit union form online. Once the loan is approved, the funds will be immediately deposited into your account and you can complete your purchase. To qualify for this loan, you must purchase your items online or in person between November 1 and November 30, 2009, or in person at the Preview Center on November 13, 14, and 15, 2009.
