Financial Aid : Grad Plus Lender Select/MPN

Grad Plus Lender Selection/MPN and Benefits Comparison Information

If the Federal Stafford Loan is not enough to cover your cost of education, the Grad Plus loan can bridge that gap. Please follow the steps below in order to select your student loan lender and e-sign your master promissory note. You may consider selecting the same lender as your Stafford Loans if the benefits they are offering are comparable to other lenders. That way your loans will be with the same lender when you go into repayment. Before applying for a preapproval, you should contact the financial aid office to determine your eligibility and amount.

Grad Plus Lender Selection/MPN Link

The lenders in the GradPlus FASTChoice website have been selected because of superior customer service and outstanding savings; however, you may choose a different lender.  We recommend that you chose your lender wisely.  In selecting these lenders the college looked at the following criteria:  quality of customer service, extent of debt management tools offered, type of borrower benefits, availability of life of loan servicing and market stability.   Subsequently, the
top three lenders have been listed on our 0809 Grad Plus lender list. 

• Please review the lender information carefully before selecting your lender. Lender benefits can change without notice and therefore we encourage you to contact the lender and discuss the benefits offered.

• You have the right to select a lender that is not on Life West’s Lender Selection List (use the provided link).
• If you need assistance in making a decision, more information on lender selection can be found at www.finaid.org or contact the financial aid office.

Once you have made your lender selection, you will have an opportunity to e-sign your master promissory note. If for some reason you are not able to initiate this step, a paper promissory note will be mailed to you at a later day by the guarantor of the student loan.
