Loan Information
Click on the link above to find more information on any of the federal and alternative loans offered through TLU to students and parents.

Choosing a Lender
Our students and parents often ask us to recommend a lender for their Federal Stafford or Parent PLUS loans.  This link will show you some recommended lenders, their borrower benefits and the cost of the loan.  We have also provided a link to each lender's Web site where you can obtain additional information about the lender.  For your convenience, you may click the Apply Now button by each of the lenders to apply for the loan through that lender.

We recommend these lenders based on the quality of the products and services they provide to Texas Lutheran University and to our students and their parents.  Which lender you choose is entirely up to you.  If you wish to use a lender that is not listed, please exit from the page without applying and contact Texas Lutheran University at 830-372-8075.

Please note:  Neither Texas Lutheran University nor the Office of Financial Aid benefit from referring students to any lender.  Even though we offer a list of commonly used lenders, you are free to choose any lender that participates in th FFELP and/or alternative loan programs.
