First American Education Finance (FAEF)

This agreement allows all ICUT members to purchase products and services for institutional use through the Coalition for College Cost Savings (CCCS), a national consortium of independent college and university state associations. Members who have an existing contract with this company may still participate and receive the reduced CCCS contract rate if desired. First American Education Finance has been a lease financing partner with CCCS and ICUT since 2008.

FAEF believes in bettering students’ lives by helping schools obtain the resources they need to achieve success. They are a financial company that customizes leasing and financing options exclusively for the education community, and are proud to offer ICUT members a variety of discounts and preferred services including:

• Discounts of 25bps. In addition to the commitment of full transparency: there are never any hidden fees

• Concierge Style Service. Sara, alongside a dedicated project manager will be your sole points of contact throughout the relationship

• Full Support. Help you make informed decisions through personal consultation and cloud-based management tools.

As financial experts in the field of education, they will work with you to find the right solution for any campus project. Currently, ICUT members work with First American to lease and/or finance IT equipment, phone systems, 1:1 programs, ERP and other software projects, school renovations and more.

As a subsidiary of City National Bank, First American Education Finance is uniquely positioned to offer specialized solutions for colleges and universities while being part of one of the nation’s largest banks—ensuring your institution the most competitive rates.
