By partnering with organizations that have established trust and connections among the underserved families in our community, we leverage our student loan and college financing expertise to help those who need it most.
We partner with this organization each year to bring college planning and financial literacy information to students attending the Dreamer Academy at Findley Elementary and attending Harding Middle School. The program helps disadvantaged families begin to imagine the possibilities of college — a dream that otherwise can seem out of reach. Parents who attend the free seminars related to planning and paying for college also receive a college savings plan deposit for each of their Dreamer students.
ISL Education Lending is "an education partner in our community that understands the importance of early awareness for post-secondary options for students AND families."—Billy Kirby, Findley Elementary Program Manager
