Special Opportunity Lender List

UW-Stevens Point has made special arrangements with the lenders on the following list to assure that any Stafford Loan borrowed by a UWSP student from them will have an opportunity to participate in interest-reduction benefit programs shortly after the student’s graduation. However, you are free to borrow from any lender you choose, who is eligible to make educational loans.

The following is a list of established lenders who we have placed on our special opportunity list because, they (1) reached a specific threshold in loan volume at UWSP, (2) use Great Lakes Higher Educational Corporation (GLHEC) to originate, guarantee, and service their loans, and (3) offer a repayment benefit. Prior to completing the promissory note process, contact those lenders you are considering, and verify what benefits they are currently offering. Just click on the lender name to be directed to a lender's web site where their benefits are described.

Correspondence for all of these lenders is to be sent to Great Lakes Processing Center, P.O. Box 7987, Madison, WI 53707.

We therefore recommend that you seek a lender that promises to provide these benefits. We suggest that you choose one of the Special Opportunity Lenders listed above when it comes time to identify your lender. These lenders have all promised to provide these benefits as described and will transfer your loan proceeds to UWSP electronically through Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation, giving you the assurance of fast delivery of your loan disbursement. Appropriate loan application materials (the Master Promissory Note (MPN) and/or the loan request form) will be sent to you directly from Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation (GLHEC) at this time-- you will be asked to identify your lender code on the MPN when you initiate your first loan. In the following years you will simply indicate how much you wish to add to your loan by sending in a loan request form to GLHEC in response to the mailing you receive from them.
