Et cetera : Duart among those to Receive College Funds Through Scholarship

Forty-five Iowa high school and college students have each been awarded $1,000 for college as part of the ISL Education Lending Scholarship. After two years, the program has now awarded $168,000 as college savings deposits for Iowa students.The winners were chosen from among more than 9,000 registrations from Iowa parents, high school students and college students during the spring 2025 registration period. While registering, the parents and students were able to view and interact with relevant financial literacy tips to learn more about paying for college."The continued interest in this program indicates the need among Iowa families for assistance with college funding," said Steve McCullough, president and CEO, Iowa Student Loan Liquidity Corporation, which sponsors the scholarship under the name ISL Education Lending. "Beyond the actual awards for winners, the educational component helps all registrants adequately plan for college and post-high school education expenses."The financial information provided with the scholarship is always available to the public at www.IowaStudentLoan.org. In addition, families can visit the website for additional resources and to sign up for other services, like the parent email service Student Planning Pointers for Parents.ISL offers two registration periods each year for the scholarship, and eligible students may enter each registration period for which they meet the eligibility requirements.
