The Office of Student Financial Planning at the School of Medicine has prepared this listing of lenders for your review and consideration. We review lenders based upon the following: repayment benefits offered, low origination fees, ability of the lender to provide life-of-loan servicing, full range of products offered specific to medical students and customer service.  The School of Medicine does not endorse any lender or loan product - this information is made available solely to assist students in comparing student loan products. 

You are not required to select one of these lenders as the provider of your Federal Graduate PLUS Loan; you may complete a Federal Graduate PLUS Loan application and promissory note with any lender you choose.
