Lender List Guide
The University of California provides lender lists for guidance, but you are free to borrow from any lender of your choice.
- Read the 2008 SLA Alternative Loan Guide (PDF) to help you find the best deals in the market.
UC Lender List for Alternative Loans
- Always think before you borrow! Choose a lender based on your personal circumstances and carefully review the benefits and repayment information before choosing a lender.
- We encourage students in the graduate and professional school programs to read the information about Graduate Plus Loans to compare the variables between the programs.
- This Loan Comparison Chart is designed to help you to consider the significant variables when choosing between the Grad Plus Loan and Alternative Loans. An Alternative Loan may be less expensive depending on your credit score and whether the variable interest rate will increase before you complete repaying the loan. It's always best to apply for the most appropriate loan for your personal credit rating.
- Please understand that the selection of a student loan provider is entirely your choice.
- Graduate students should use school code 001313-71 when completing an Alternative Loan Application.
