Don't Let the Government Take Away YOUR Choice!

US Senators may pass student loan legislature that will cost students and their families thousands of dollars. A campaign against the Student Loan Industry has the people of America believing these bills will actually HELP resolve some of the issues in student finance.

Students are currently offered discounts, incentives, interest rate reductions and service from lenders in the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP) which the government DOES NOT provide. In fact, over 80% of American colleges and participate in FFELP.

But some in Congress think that promoting the Federal Direct Loan Program (FDLP) - which has a $16 billion shortfall - is more important than borrower choice and access to competitive rates, discounts and great service. FDLP offers student only one lender - the U.S. Government.

Recent News: Senator Kennedy calls for the immediate shut down of the National Student Loan Data System, crippling the financial aid process accross the nation.
