Education Loans
We believe you should have the tools to make your dream education possible. North Star Credit Union partners with both Sallie Mae and ISL Education Lending to provide student loan options for our members.
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.*
We also work with Sallie Mae which offers multiple repayment options including deferred repayment, interest repayment, or fixed repayment.
