About BrainScratch

Offer More, Risk Less

With BrainScratch, Student Loan Finance Corporation (SLFC) allows community banks to offer student loans without spending big bucks. Members increase revenue and competitiveness without the headaches of building an in-house student loan program.

BrainScratch.com represents individual students—and the independent community banks they trust—in one comprehensive site. We remove risk and complexity from educational financing, and give students the money they need quickly and easily.

Our Partners

Through a relationship with the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), our network of community-based lending institutions participating in the program is skyrocketing.

Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation (GLHEC), Education Assistance Corporation (EAC) and National Student Loan Program (NSLP) guarantee and issue the government subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans, as well as the PLUS education loans—all within the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP).
