Invest in yourself and your future
When scholarships, federal aid and savings aren’t enough, a private student loan* can make up the difference and help pay for college.
If you have already completed and maximized the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), then an Iowa Student Loan might be a good solution for the remainder of your expenses.
Iowa Student Loan Education Lending** offers:
- Loans for college students.
- A loan option for parents and family members to borrow on behalf of a college student.
- Multiple student loan refinance options.
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.
Student loan advice from Bank Iowa:
Borrow only what you need and make sure you and/or a co-signer have good credit — most private student loan borrowers need to have a co-signer.
