991.0. "Ever hear of "College First"?" by CAPNET::PJOHNSON (aut disce, aut discede) Wed Jul 26 1995 22:22

My wife and I met with a gentleman this evening. He represents
"College First", affiliated with Mid-West National Life Insurance Co.
of Tennessee.

His pitch is (in the case of my 14-year-old son), we pay approx.
$60/month, which builds cash value and pays for some term insurance
for my son, and in return College First will guarantee to loan my son
up to $30,000 (4, 5, 7, 7, and 7k) to be repaid starting six months
after graduation at Prime+2% simple interest - up to 15 years to
repay.

I haven't run the numbers yet and was wondering if anyone had heard of
this plan?

Thanks,
Pete

    You pay a monthly fee for the "guarantee to loan"? Perhaps you should
    talk to a banker about the ease/difficulty you can expect for a student
    loan. Doesn't sound like a bargin on the surfice, you can get loans
    without paying fees in addition to interest.
