What We Do

Helping students obtain the resources needed to succeed in postsecondary education means more than providing student loan products. It means sharing ways to save money, minimize education debt and maximize earning potential. It also means helping every student in our community find their pathway to education after high school.

College Planning Tools

Innovative free online tools are accessible for students and families who want to understand the many aspects of college financing before they face their first bill. Helping students and families understand total college cost, student loan debt and repayment, and the ability to finance college are important aspects of our nonprofit mission.

Our commitment to helping students and families continues through the repayment of loans. We strive to provide the help, information and resources borrowers need to successfully repay educational loan debt.

I got the information about this organisation in the mail. Thought of calling and asking details about student loan and various products they provide. ... I had a very great experience of talking to an associate from financial industry who was more focused on providing accurate information than selling products.

This document (PDF) is intended to serve as a guiding statement for organizations that make loans to cover educational expenses, outlining general principles that promote borrower success.
