Application Guide

Finding a lender

Many banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions participate in the FFEL program. A good starting point is to check if your own bank participates in the FFEL program. Edfund has a comprehensive online database of participating lenders that is useful.

Remember to ask for the lender code when you find yourself a lender.

If you received Stafford loans previously, you may wish to stay with the same lender. However, it is wise to shop around for a loan to make a well informed decision. Be sure to ask about: origination fees, interest rates, repayment plans, repayment incentives, customer service, economic hardship policies, one-time capitalization and likelihood of your loan being sold.

Bond University recommends that you borrow through one of our preferred lenders since they are committed to providing excellent customer service to our students.
