Picking the right lender: what your students need to know

As a financial aid professional, you know how easy it is for students to fall for shady lending offers. While the new legislation may be tying your hands when it comes to helping your students select the right lender, you can still help them make the right decision with Evaluating a Lender, a lender-neutral brochure T.H.E. has recently created. Evaluating a Lender offers students step-by-step instructions on asking the right questions and learning the basics of the borrowing process.

Students can use Evaluating a Lender to:

  • Understand the differences and similarities between lenders
  • Ask potential lenders the right questions
  • Understand basic terms and concepts of the student lending industry
  • Find additional resources to understand the student loan industry

The brochure even includes a lender scorecard so students can compare lenders side by side.

To order Evaluating a Lender, just go to our Tools and Resources page and enter your order. Once the e-mail automatically generates, simply provide the name of the resource(s), the quantity desired, due date, shipping address and contact information. We’ll do the rest.
