HELP Loans Reduce Student Debt for Pastors

Open NOW - September 1



The HELP (Higher Education Loan Partners) program is designed to ease the burden of seminary debt for those called to ministry. Through this initiative, IUMF assists pastors serving in the Iowa Annual Conference by refinancing their student loans at a low interest rate—helping save thousands over time. To date, over half a million dollars has been refinanced through HELP, providing real financial relief to clergy across Iowa. Visit our website to learn more and apply.
