~@> Choosing a Lender

<p>Can anyone sugguest a lender for the Stafford loans? Ive been going thru pages trying to figure out which gives more inscentives for borrowing, but all I got were some confusing figures.</p>

<p>An also, does a subsidized loan mean that the government pays all of the interest or just a fraction of it?</p>

<p>Any information, insight, or feedback?</p>

<p>I had the same problem, until I just caved in and went with Bank of America. Simply because it was just one of the names I was familiar with.</p>

<p>As for subsidized loans, the government pays for all the interest during your four years of college and about 6-9 months after graduation.</p>

<p>i did some calculation and it turns out that Chela or All-Student Loan Corp are the best choices mainly because they directly reduce interest rates (directly reducing amount of payback).</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm having the same problem as well. i was reading information about the lenders but its all going over my head.</p>

<p>well for chela and all-american, borrowers must have a Stafford loan balance of at least $7500 at the time repayment begins</p>

<p>I have the same problem and I am confused which lender I should choose. Have anyone heard or chosen College Board/University Credit Union or All Student Loan Corp? Which one did you choose?</p>

<p>At GW the preferred lenders are AMS Educational Loan Trust, Citibank, National Education, and Nellie Mae. I have NO idea which is the best... any suggestions?</p>

<p>when is the deadline to accept/choose a lender?</p>
