​​The Canton Student Loan Foundation is a private not for profit organization and not a federal entity.  Loan funds become available as students repay their loans into a revolving pool of funds.  Loan repayment is part of a " Pay it Forward" program whereby funds repaid by Stark County graduates are then loaned out again to future graduates who need assistance with their school expenses.

THE STUDENT LOAN FOUNDATION OF NORTH CANTON

Starting in January 2023, the Canton Student Loan Foundation began managing the loan program of the Student Loan Foundation of North Canton.  This means that all business including repayments, disbursements, and applications are now managed by CSLF.  This agreement will significantly benefit the North Canton community by providing services and technology not available currently.  Students will continue to have the opportunity to borrow from both funds with graduate school funding available as well.
