About Us

Student Lending Works is the State of Ohio's designated nonprofit student loan lender. Our mission is to lower the cost of education for Ohio students and their families.

Why We're Different

• We're nonprofit - We're focused on you, not on making profits for shareholders.



• Student loans are our only business - You'll never have to worry about unwanted solicitations for credit cards, checking accounts or car loans from us.



• We give back - The surplus from our lending activities is reinvested in education. To date, our parent organization, KnowledgeWorks Foundation, and its partners have invested more than $100-million to improve college access and educational opportunities.

Why Choose Us?

• You'll get help from real people. When you call us for help, your call will be answered by a live person - without having to select from automated menus!

• You'll get personal loan counseling. Part of our nonprofit mission is to educate you about student loans, so you'll have access to our experienced loan counselors anytime you have questions. Just give us a call at 1-877-256-0066.
