IVY TECH COMMUNITY COLLEGE-SOUTHEAST

We recommend these lenders based on the quality of products and services they provide to students and families. We have carefully considered our selections in order to provide you with the best possible list of suggested lenders. However, if you wish to use another lender that is not on this list, you have the right to do so. You can find alternative lenders by clicking the “Search For Other Lenders” link below or searching on your own.
 
The following is a list of established lenders who we have placed on our recommended Lender list because their services are exemplary and are designed to benefit you. The lender is the institution from which the money is actually borrowed, but the interest rates and terms of the loan are set by the U.S. Department of Education. Some lenders offer special incentives that reduce your loan balance or lower your interest rates. You may want to visit their websites for more information.

You have the right to select any lender that participates in the FFELP loan programs. Contact your financial aid office to review the process for using your recommended lender if they are not listed below.

ELM Resources is not involved in any way with the endorsement of lenders or specific loan products of educational institutions and does not receive compensation as a result of a lender being placed on a preferred lender list or a school using ELMSelect as a means of providing loan information to students.

ELM Resources is not responsible for the accuracy of the information available through ELMSelect. Students and parents are encouraged to contact lenders to confirm the accuracy of the loan terms posted on the site. Students and parents are also reminded of the right of borrowers seeking loans through the Federal Family Education Loan Program to choose their lender and that the choice of a lender is not in any way limited to the lenders on a school’s preferred lender list. Additionally, if a borrower chooses another lender, they will suffer no penalty for selecting their lender of choice.

ELM Resources notes that additional information on student loans is available from the U.S. Department of Education on a variety of sites including www.studentaid.ed.gov and www.mymoney.gov.
