Edsouth is the Southeast’s premier source of student loan funding, serving as the preferred secondary market for dozens of lenders. Edamerica is a top-ten lender, offering low-cost student loans nationwide. Both Edsouth and Edamerica are separate and distinct companies that work closely with Edfinancial Services. Tony Hollin serves as chairman and CEO of both Edfinancial Services and Edamerica.
Over the years, Edfinancial Services and its affiliates have created revolutionary products specific to the student loan industry. The Edloan benefit for teachers and nurses is one such product – the industry’s first and only student loan benefit customized for these populations. This Stafford loan benefit helps alleviate the chronic shortage of nurses and teachers and enhances their recruitment and retention, specifically in Tennessee and Florida.
Another initiative specific to Tennessee is Edscholar, a scholarship program especially for area students attending in-state schools. Edscholar was created to recognize Tennessee’s best and brightest students and to encourage them to get their degrees and build their futures in the Volunteer State.
Edfinancial Services is a good corporate citizen, providing sponsorship and resources for community causes that support our mission, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Project GRAD, Junior Achievement, Boys and Girls Club, and the Mayor’s First Day Festival.
In a dynamic industry where the only constant is change, Edfinancial Services is working hard to grow assets for student loan providers and protect assets for student loan holders. We’re fluid, moving fast, and reshaping our corporate destiny. Through it all, our values remain constant. Our business is relationship-driven, and our people are our most valuable asset.
