Stillman does not promote, endorse, or recommend any private loan lender.  The lenders listed above are merely a listing of lenders our students have used.  Students are not obligated to use them.  The credit check performed by many lenders expires after 90 - 120 days.  Therefore, students should not apply for a private loan more than 3 months prior to the start of the term.  However, due to processing time, students should apply as soon as possible within the 3 month window.  In order for funds to be available to pay tuition and fees, applications should be submitted to your lender by:

Changing Loan Amounts:  Students are encouraged to only borrow needed funds.  If the loan approval is more than is desired, students can reduce the amount of the loan by e-mailing the Financial Aid Office at  SCFA@STILLMAN.EDUor by contacting their lender when they receive the lender’s disclosure statements.

Prior Institutions:  We strongly encourage students who have borrowed private loans at other institutions to retain their previous lenders. This will avoid making multiple loan repayments in the future.
