About SLGFA

The Student Loan Guarantee Foundation of Arkansas (SLGFA) knows there are many questions and concerns on the minds of students and their families as they prepare for an education beyond high school. For that reason, our Web site was created to provide answers and point users in the right direction through a multitude of resources. The task of preparing for college can be a daunting one, but it is made easier with accurate and accessible information.

Whether it is exploring careers, planning or paying for a higher education, or even managing money, the right tools are at your fingertips. With more than 40 years of service, SLGFA continues to be a trustworthy source of information. Some of the resources available include career guidance, college cost calculators, links to free scholarship searches, and information about state and federal aid.

TEAMM (Teaching Educational Access & Money Management) SLGFA, comprised of experienced professionals dedicated to participating in outreach efforts in the areas of financial literacy and college access, continues to meet the needs of students and families. The group remains committed to equipping students with the tools they need to successfully finish their education with a limited amount of debt and with the necessary financial skills for the future. TEAMM SLGFA members can be found teaching financial literacy workshops in the community and schools or helping students complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at a College Goal Sunday event.

It is our goal to help others accomplish their educational and career objectives, but student loan repayment is also important to us. Therefore, teaching debt management skills is a priority. We conduct workshops and training events for students, parents, and borrowers, and we assist schools with their default prevention efforts. We also have trained counselors and staff who provide information and options to borrowers who are experiencing difficulties making their payments.
