This session will discuss how credit unions can design student loan programs that evolve alongside members, offering value beyond graduation. We will explore the current needs of students and families to finance higher education; the evolution of student lending in credit unions and the challenges credit unions grapple with to offer this service; and the spectrum of student loan options currently offered by credit unions. In addition, we will explore what College Ave is doing to meet the needs of credit unions, and the importance of deepening member engagement, creating meaningful financial solutions for young adults, and retaining members well into their adulthood.
