RECOMMENDED LENDERS AND STATEMENT OF LENDING PRINCIPLES
Stafford, PLUS, and alternative loans are offered by a variety of banks and lending agencies. Students have the right to choose their lender. The Duke University Financial Aid Office is committed to providing our students and their families with accurate information about the best available rates, benefits and service. We have created a Recommended Lender List to help with the selection process. Our research indicates that the lenders listed below offer excellent customer service, competitive interest rates and borrower benefits. If you choose to borrow with a lender from outside the Recommended Lender List, we will be happy to process it for you. Duke University will not discourage, refuse or delay certification of a borrower’s loan eligibility. The application procedures and steps to follow remain exactly the same. For more information on Duke's Recommended Lender Policy, please see our full Statement on Educational Lending.
Our Recommended Lenders for 2009-2010 are:
- Access Group

Each of our Recommended Lenders offer an array of educational loans. For a comparison of the loans and borrower benefits, please visit our online Recommended Lender list.
