Proposed legislation threatens to set back the accomplishments of non-profit student loan lender/guarantors like the Connecticut Student Loan Foundation. For over 40 years, CSLF has promoted access to higher education, helped families find financing for college, and assisted high school guidance professionals to shepherd first-generation and under-served populations into programs to help them discover and fulfill their dreams. Current media coverage has tended to lump together large lenders and banks with smaller, non-profit companies like CSLF.

That’s the person who answers the phone when you call CSLF.
