The experience and agility to help FSA support borrowers
Delivering a better experience for borrowers
Each year, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA) provides more than $120 billion in financial aid to help pay for college or career school.
Our loan servicing division, Aidvantage, is proud to support FSA as an independent, conflict-free provider for 5.6 million student loan accounts. Because of our long-standing relationship with FSA, we have a deep understanding of student loan borrowers that we will leverage to renew the focus on delivering a high-quality experience for them.
