Borrowers can choose any lender for a private loan, even if they are not listed here. The Office of Financial Aid encourages borrowers to compare lenders to make an informed choice.

Lender List Rationale

To assist families in this decision, the Office of Financial Aid compiled a list of lending agencies that 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 offer a variety of savings programs during loan repayment.

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