What We Stand For

Our mission

EdFund is dedicated to maximizing benefits to borrowers by being the premier service provider in the student loan industry.

Our core values: Excellence, Commitment, Integrity, Teamwork

Our values set us apart in a marketplace that is often focused on short-term gains, and measured by things like sales growth and profit margins. An old story reinforces my point:

A pilot comes out of the cockpit and announces that he has bad news and good news. "The radar and communications systems have failed, it's cloudy outside and we don't know where we are," he says. "But the good news is that we're making great time!"

Quite a few companies think they are doing well but often don't stop to think about what they’re all about and why they do what they do. If you don't have core values that ground you as a business, you can't really know where you are, where you are going or how you will get there.

At EdFund, we have a mission statement that places borrowers at the center of every action we take. Our core values guide those actions, and are the key to our resilience in the face of challenges. They are why we are able to move forward with the assurance that we are doing the right things for the right reasons.
