Meeting the Moment: How Credit Unions Support the Next Generation of Borrowers
Meeting the Moment: How Credit Unions Support the Next Generation of Borrowers
Overview
Federal student aid options will decrease under H.R. 1, which sets stricter eligibility requirements and reduces available grants and loans. As a result, families will encounter larger financial gaps with higher education expenses. This shift increases demand for alternative financing solutions, presenting a significant opportunity for credit unions to help. Credit unions need to provide accessible education financing now or risk losing families to other, less member-focused lenders. Ryan Giffin and Vicki Erickson will discuss how providing education financing allows credit unions to engage this key demographic early, build lasting borrowing relationships, and secure future growth.
