Welcome to the Stafford Loan page for Virginia's Bluefield College.

Choosing a lender is an important decision for students. The lender you choose will be part of the

life of the loan. The lenders on this list are frequently used by our Stafford and PLUS loan borrowers. These

lenders provide excellent benefits and an efficient application process. Additionally, they disburse funds

electronically to Bluefield College, which allows us to post funds directly to your account. We provide this list as a

guide to you; however, you are free to choose another lender without penalty. If you choose another lender,

please inform us so that we may ensure your loan is processed in a timely manner. If you are considering a

lender from our list, we encourage you to review all the information presented for each lender. The lenders listed below meet federal regulations which require no affiliates.

 

Stafford Loan Lender Disclosure

More than 3,000 lenders participate in the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), and offer students the opportunity to borrow funds in the Stafford Loan program. Student choices are made using criteria such as name recognition, personal banking experience, interest rate, repayment benefits, and recommendations. While Bluefield College will process a loan application from any lender on behalf of a student, the Financial Aid Office offers a list of recommended lenders as a resource as part of our students’ selection process. These lenders have competitive benefits, good customer service, are capable of delivering loan proceeds quickly using our electronic delivery procedures and meet with our financial aid staff on campus at least twice a year to provide updates. The online lender list rotates electronically. In addition, new lenders may be added to the list while others will be removed for failure to meet the expectations of our students, parents and administrative procedures. Monitoring the lender list gives the Financial Aid Office the opportunity to be an advocate for our students. Bluefield College does not accept financial incentives from any student loan provider. The College’s conflict of interest policy also expects employees to conduct business according to the highest ethical standards of conduct and does not allow an employee who is in a position to influence a decision, to make a decision that may result in a personal gain for the employee or an immediate family member as a result of the college’s business dealings. This includes all interactions with student loan lenders.
