Achieve your educational goals

Sometimes, the idea of paying for college seems impossible. But you know that in the end, it’s worth it.

At SMACU, we want to help you ignite your dreams of getting that degree. That’s why we offer supplemental private student loans through Iowa Student Loan®.

Student Loans

We work with ISL Education Lending to offer private loans to help you pay for college as well as refinance existing student loans. ISL Education Lending is a nonprofit organization with decades of student loan experience offering lower-priced loans.*

ISL Education Lending offers:

• Loans for college students.
• A loan option for parents and family members who wish to borrow on behalf of a college student.
• Multiple student loan refinance options.

In addition, they offer multiple scholarship opportunities and free college planning tools to help students and families avoid overborrowing and plan smart for life during and after college.

Learn more about ISL Education Lending’s offerings on their website.

Please note:

• All loans offered by ISL Education Lending are subject to credit approval.
• Before applying for a private loan, we encourage you to first complete the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid. You should also work with your college financial aid office to explore and exhaust all sources of student financial aid before seeking a private student loan.
