Private Loan Lenders

Many lenders certify private loans using ELM. You can follow the link below to ELM to browse and compare our preferred lenders. You are not required to borrow from any of these lenders. 

Although many lenders can be excellent options for students, we have selected our preferred lenders based on who best met the following criteria:

• Eligibility requirements for students
• Efficiency in processing applications
• Customer support
• Competitive interest rates
• Benefits available to the borrower
• Lack of affiliation with any other lender on the list

KU will also certify loans from any eligible lender, whether they are on our preferred lender list or use ELM.
