Students need champions.

Our founding members have financed the tertiary education of over 28,000 students, deploying $356 million in funding—proving that ISAs can transform lives on a global scale. We’re just getting started. By 2035, we aim to empower 100,000 students to achieve intergenerational social mobility through fair, transparent, and ethical student financing options. Together, we can break cycles of limited opportunity and create lasting change for families and communities.

As pioneers, we’re not just participating in the ISA movement—we’re defining it.

Drawing on lessons from social impact sectors like microfinance, we are setting standards and advocating for policies that will cultivate a thriving ecosystem for fair and ethical ISA providers. With students at the center of our mission, we’re embedding these standards early, laying the foundation for a transparent, responsible, and sustainable market that prioritizes student success above all else.

That’s where the Global ISA Alliance comes in.

Through formal programming, professional learning, and informal connections, the Global ISA Alliance leverages the power of connection—linking people, know-how, and ideas—to support our members in enhancing their practices. Designed by and for ISA providers, we build connections, spark ideas, and facilitate learning among a diverse, dedicated group of entrepreneurs committed to empowering students.
