Unicaja Banco has renewed its agreement with the University of Granada (UGR) to provide students with a €2 million financing line to facilitate the payment, on advantageous terms, of tuition fees at a 0% interest rate.
Under this agreement entered into with the University for the fourth consecutive year, the bank puts at the disposal of students the Préstamo Matrícula, for the school year 2020-2021 and aimed exclusively to the payment of tuition fees, with no commissions or arrangement fees. The agreement will benefit the over 55,000 students of the University of Granada, which includes students of the Ceuta and Melilla Campus.
The agreement, which reinforces the relationship between Unicaja Banco and the University of Granada (UGR), has been signed by Unicaja Banco’s Area Manager in Granada, Manuel Conde, and by the Chancellor of the University of Granada, Pilar Aranda.
The agreement is part of the support that Unicaja Banco gives to young people and to training, with special focus on facilitating access to university studies. The Préstamo Matrícula falls within the full range of financial products and services of Espacio Joven Uni, Unicaja Banco’s platform for the youth.
The Préstamo Matrícula allows students to finance up to €3,000 euros, to be repaid within ten months and with the latest maturity date being 31 May 2021. Students will have access to this instrument upon their registration at the University, which starts with pre-registration on 24 July and ends on 30 October.
