Lender List Rationale

Samuel Merritt University carefully reviews lenders' policies and products regularly to find the best rates and service among student loan lenders for our students.

To assist families in the this decision, the Financial Aid Office compiled a list of institutions whom we consider excellent in the educational lending field. We have found each of these lenders to provide prompt reconciliation of loan issues. They also provide fast electronic payment of loan funds directly to your University billing account, and off a variety of savings programs during loan repayment.

Please note that you are not required to use one of these lenders. The Financial Aid Office will process your loan with any lender you choose.

How was this list developed?

Recently, there has been a great deal of discussion regarding how lenders are chosen by financial aid offices. The Samuel Merritt University Financial Aid Office is committed to choosing lenders who provide good service and benefits to our students.

Samuel Merritt University continues to provide students and their families with lending information. It is helpful to our students, who often request guidance in the selection of a lender. This interactive list is intended as a guide only. The Financial Aid Office will process a loan from any lender selected by a student.

Please feel free to contact the Financial Aid Office if you have any questions about the process or the lenders selected.
