Private Loan Lender Lists

Lender List for Private Educational Loans
Lender List for Bar Expense Loans (Law Students Only)

The lenders included on our lists have been selected with the best interest of our students in mind.  Each lender has demonstrated a consistent level of service in the following areas:

• The products they provide are education loan resources that are fair, competitive, accessible, and tailored to the educational needs of graduate and law students.
• The pricing is competive and each lender continuously strives to include repayment benefits that lower the overall cost of the student loan. 
• These lenders provide timely and efficient processing of loans which ensures prompt delivery of loan funds to our students. Loan certifications, adjustments and delivery of student loan funds are completed electronically with these lenders.
• The customer service provided to our borrowers from initial application throughout the lifetime of the loan, including the repayment period, is consistent and reliable.   Services include experienced student loan experts, useful online resources and valuable debt management tools.

Each lender's performance is reviewed and evaluated regularly, and no less than annually, by the Graduate Financial Aid Office.  The evaluation includes students' feedback and we welcome comments on your experience by email at financialaid@stthomas.edu, by phone or in person.

We also recognize that there are a number of lenders with whom we do not have extensive experience, but who offer excellent products. You are welcome to use any lender you desire as the University of St. Thomas does not endorse any one lender.
