Remember, you may request your student/parent loan through any lender.  If your lender is not shown on the Lender Selection Form, you may write in the name of the lender you wish to borrow from and you must provide ETSU with the application.

ETSU does not receive any monetary benefit from any lender. 

HOW DOES ETSU SELECT ITS PREFERRED LENDERS?  Our preferred lenders are selected on the basis of:

·        Ability to transmit/process loan information electronically

·        Advantages offered to students

·        General student feedback, student preferences over time

·        Track record of performance with ETSU

·        General input from the business community; professional contacts in the student financial aid community, and ongoing review of appropriate professional business and trade journals

·        Determinations are made on an annual basis by the Director in close consultation with the Assistant Directors

Federal regulations require all first-time student loan borrowers to participate in Entrance Loan Counseling before receiving the first disbursement of your loan proceeds.
Federal regulations require all student loan borrowers to participate in Exit Loan Counseling whenever you drop below half-time enrollment status, withdraw, or graduate.
