ISL Education Lending

Iowa Student Loan Liquidity Corporation, doing business as ISL Education Lending, is a nonprofit corporation offering private student loans for students and families who have exhausted other sources of aid. In addition, we provide scholarships and programs for families and reinvest funds in programs to benefit students and borrowers.Established in 1979, we are based in West Des Moines, self-funded and self-capitalized. For 40 years, we have worked to support the local economy by maintaining and growing jobs and providing competitive salaries and benefits. Along with our subsidiary, we employ more than 150 people and manage $2.6 billion in student loans. We do not have shareholders nor do we receive state appropriations.Operating as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, we are subject to strict regulation of our exempt purpose and use of funds.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.
