Welcome!

This student loan comparison tool includes Stafford and PLUS Loans.

The Financial Aid Office encourages borrowers to compare lenders to make an informed choice. For best results, select the borrower benefits options of your choice to factor in and out different benefits (under Borrower Rewards). Side by side comparisons can be made by checking the boxes of the lenders you would like to compare and clicking the “Compare” button.

Borrowers can choose any Stafford/PLUS lender that participates in the Federal Family Education Loan program, even if they are not listed here.

If you have questions, the Financial Aid Office is available to help.

Lender List Rationale

Edison State College realizes that reasons for selecting a particular lender vary from person to person. Some choose a lender based on name recognition or a previous relationship, such as with a consumer bank account. For some the deciding factor is the long-term advantage of repayment savings programs, like an interest rate reduction as a reward for payments made on time.

To assist families in this decision, the Financial Aid Office compiled a list of lending institutions we consider excellent in education lending and offer loans to our students. We have found each of these lenders to provide prompt reconciliation of loan issues. They also provide fast electronic processing and payment of loan funds for disbursement to your student account.

Please note that you are not required to use one of these lenders. The Financial Aid Office will process a loan for a lender of your choice. Contact any campus Financial Aid Office if you would like to do so and we will provide instructions on how to apply for a loan with the lender you choose.
