Do you need help navigating your student loan debt? Reach out to schedule a free, expert Borrower Consult. Borrower Consults are possible through our partnership with The Institute of Student Loan Advisors (TISLA). Through this partnership, SLF creates a bridge to free and reliable resources for CT student borrowers. TISLA was founded to ensure that all student loan borrowers have access to free, neutral, and clear student loan advice and dispute resolution assistance. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit that believes that these borrowers have a right to a trusted resource with industry experience to mentor, educate, and advocate for them. Student loan borrowers have a right to such a resource without being charged a fee, barraged with advertisements, or forced to provide personal information that may later be sold.
Our role at SLF is to help borrowers familiarize themselves with key information about their student debt, which will help them inquire about their best options through detailed questions to our colleagues at TISLA.
