To help you with the selection process, this site presents a list of lenders to compare in an interactive format.
The Financial Aid Office encourages borrowers to compare lenders to make an informed choice. Borrowers can choose any Stafford/PLUS lender that participates in the Federal Family Education Loan program and any lender for a private loan, even if they are not listed here.
Lender List Rationale
Taylor University Fort Wayne reviews lenders’ policies and loan products on an annual basis in an effort to offer lenders that offer good customer service and lender benefits for the borrower. Generally, these benefits change on an annual basis given the current market conditions and some lenders have had to reduce benefits from previous levels or suspend them entirely. The Financial Aid Office strives to offer excellent customer service. One means of providing this service is through electronic processing; therefore, the university chooses lenders that work within our loan processing system. Electronic processing allows the borrower to apply online, allows the Financial Aid Office to certify loans online, and provides fast electronic payment of loan funds directly to your TUFW student billing account.
To assist families in the decision of which lender to choose, the Financial Aid Office has compiled a list of suggested lenders for your consideration. We believe these lenders offer superior customer service to our borrowers, as well as to our office, throughout the loan process, and are committed to the student loan industry long-term.
As a borrower you may change your lender at any time; however, we highly recommend that once you have chosen a lender you remain with that lender throughout your education to ensure a much smoother transition into repayment.
While TUFW is able to provide the highest level of customer service through the lender choices provided on our lender list, we will certify a Stafford, PLUS, or Private Educational Loan for another lender of your choice if you prefer. If you wish to use a lender not included on our suggested lender list, please contact our office so that we can help you through the process as efficiently as possible.
