We have developed a preferred list of private loan lenders based on a survey sent to 15 lenders who have been actively lending within Pennsylvania for at least five years.
Interest rates and fees for private loans vary from lender to lender based on the credit of the individual borrower and cosigner. We recommend that you apply for one or more private loans before deciding which type of loan is best for you. 应用ing for a private student loan does not obligate you to accept it.
We evaluated lenders based on pricing, technology and customer service, as well as our experience with these lenders. A committee reviewed the data and developed the list of lenders, which is evaluated and updated annually.
Our suggested lenders
- Have a history of excellent customer service in dealing with our students and families
- Offer benefits, such as interest rate reduction for auto-debit
- Offer “value-added” services to students such as debt management tools and programs, useful websites and default prevention programs
- 我没有主动提出 financial benefits or other benefits to Susquehanna in exchange for being included on the preferred lender list
- 我没有主动提出, directly or indirectly, 点, 保费, 支付, 或者其他诱因, to Susquehanna or any party to secure applicants for loans
- Will not offer a loan to induce other products and services to the borrower
You are not required to select a lender from our preferred lender list. If you select a different lender, call 学生 Financial Services at 570-372-4450.
Lenders and schools will provide a self-certification form as part of the application process for a private student loan. The loan application will not be complete until all forms and disclosures are signed by the borrower and co-borrower.
