Strengthening Student Lending in 2026

Higher education financing is more complex than ever, and your members are looking to their credit union for guidance, stability, and solutions they can trust. With major changes to student lending taking shape in 2026, credit unions have an opportunity to step in where federal programs fall short. A private, nonprofit lending option allows credit unions to support members with transparent, mission driven solutions that reflect cooperative values while remaining competitive in a rapidly evolving market.

Corporate Central, in partnership with ISL Education Lending, helps credit unions support members at every stage of their education journey. Our nonprofit driven model prioritizes people over profits, delivering private student loans and refinance options that strengthen member relationships, grow loan portfolios, and reinforce your credit union's mission of financial wellbeing.

Join us for an engaging 45-mintue webinar to discover how your credit union can turn student lending into a strategic advantage. You will learn how to:

• Grow membership and deepen relationships by engaging students, families, and existing borrowers with education focused lending solutions.
• Offer competitive, member first loan and refinance options with industry leading interest rates and flexible features.
• Guide members through recent legislative changes including impacts from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
• Add value beyond lending by using ISL's new Step 1 Scholarship Search tool to help members uncover free financial aid and reduce borrowing.
• Differentiate your credit union from large banks and fintech lenders with a refinance program designed to meet diverse borrower needs.
