Preferred Lenders
We recommend several lenders based on the quality of their rates, service and convenience.
We also include lenders who have received positive feedback from our current students and their parents. We receive no incentives or benefits from any lender, whether or not they are designated as a preferred lender.
You are not obligated to choose a lender from our Preferred Lender List and you will not incur any penalties for choosing a lender that is not on our list. We provide this list as a service to you and will certify a loan with any lender you choose.
