Preferred Lender List

Follow this link to a list of Mount Union College's frequently used lenders. Please keep in mind that the interest rate for each lender will be the same. The difference involves what incentive repayment plans each lender has to offer. Examples would include a specific percent reduction of the interest rate on the loan immediately with the first payment, or after 36 or 48 on-time payments. Each of the programs are beneficial to the student.
