Concise information Concise information! Seemed easily understandable. Apropos to information needed at this point. I’m the grandma so I’m probably not as in the loop as the parents.

Low rates and Quick Processing I searched many lenders and ISL Education Lending always has the lowest rates. This is very important in keeping my costs as low as possible. The application and review process is straight forward and quick.

Very simple process Very simple process. Did ask for some additional documentation than previous lender. Online application and co signor process were excellent. Funded quickly. Just waiting on slow school process to get it where it needs to go but that's not lender's problem. Highly recommend and rates are awesome compared to non credit union.

ISL provides some great information for… ISL provides some great information for parents with kids planning for college. Things have changed alot since my college days and the info presented in excellent.

Buyer Beware: Interest Accrues on Day 1 I thought that I had carefully read the agreement. I am currently rereading everything from ISL Lending. It is a student loan that was recommended to my son by his university's financial aid office. It is deferred and it is at a high interest rate of over 8%. But unlike other college loans that I and my children experienced...interest accrues immediately and not 6 mos. after graduation or when student no longer carries a full course load. My son will have accrued $2548 in interest by the time he graduates. The loan for $9000 will end up costing him $19,000 if he pays on their schedule. The fine print of interest accrual needs to be in bold if you are not going to act like the other lenders.
