Bossier Parish Community College partners with the several lenders who have been selected based on the services they provide to our students and their history of efficient processing. BPCC chooses lender partners that provide customer service on a personal level. We feel that personal interaction with a lender is a quality that BPCC students deserve and prefer.

Financial Aid loan officers, along with the Financial Aid Director, review the BPCC Preferred Lender list annually to ensure that BPCC lender partners are still providing our students with competitive benefits along with a customer service center with live representatives to answer students' phone calls. It is extremely important for our students to have the highest level of customer service possible.

If you decide to use one of our lender partners, please access the link(s) provided below to research each lender's borrower benefits and choose the lender that meets your individual needs.

Remember, lender choice is an important decision. You do not have to limit yourself to the college's preferred-lender list. For a broad comparison of rates, go to FinAid.org,which tracks discounts by major lenders.

If you prefer a lender that is not on this list, please provide our office with the lender name and lender code (if known). We will be happy to process your loan with any lender who participates in the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP).

Please do your research.

Lenders often advertise that they have the best loan product available. While this may be true, they may not be the right lender for you. To help you decide, use the following checklist:

• Dedicate some time to calling, e-mailing lenders, or visiting the lender website.
• Ask the following questions:
  1. Do you charge loan fees?
  2. What are your repayment benefits?
  3. What do I have to do to receive these benefits and how are the benefits lost?
  4. If I borrow $10,000 over my college career and I receive all these benefits, what will be the total dollar amount I will repay by the end of my 10-year repayment?
  5. If I borrow $10,000 over my college career and I receive NONE of these benefits, what will be the total dollar amount I will repay by the end of my 10-year repayment?
• Compare the cost of your loan, the service you received, and any other advantages to using each lender you contacted
