On-Line Stafford Loan Application
Federal Stafford Student Loans
Student Loan Primary lender List Criteria:
Creighton University primarily uses the lender partners listed below based on several factors. Foremost, is the long experience in the student loan business each demonstrates, which in turn insures the capability to properly administer these loan options with integrity, compliance and outstanding customer service throughout the life of the loan. These lenders were originally selected as they were and still are the majority choice by Creighton students. Additionally, some lenders may offer benefits to the student such as payment on behalf of the student of required federal fees, non-capitalization of accrued interest on unsubsidized Stafford and Grad-PLUS loans and repayment incentives resulting in reduced interest rates. We continually monitor the benefits yearly to insure our lender partners provide nationally competitive benefits and a continued commitment to exceptional service to students.
Most returning students who borrowed Stafford Loan funds at Creighton during the past 12 months do not need to select a lender or complete a new Master Promissory Note (MPN). We will automatically process your Stafford Loan application with your current lender for the amount you accept on NEST. However, if your lender in the past was Creighton Federal Credit Union or Creighton University (grad students only), you will be required to pick a new lender for any new loans. Both Creighton Federal Credit Union and Creighton University have chosen not to participate as lenders.
Creighton University will process a loan application with any lender a student chooses. Students wishing to borrow Stafford loan funds through a lender not listed below will need to e-mail the Financial Aid Office the lender name, address, and 6 digit lender code.
