Meredith College has established three recommended lenders for the 2008-2009 academic year. These lenders were selected through a recommendation process from the Director and staff of the Office of Financial Assistance working with the Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management to the Vice President for College Programs, the senior leadership of the college, and the President of Meredith College. These lenders were chosen based solely on student/parent cost benefits, demonstrated customer service, national and regional presence, and established integration with Meredith's current data system. The decisions for selecting FFEL recommended lenders are not influenced by any inducements, gifts, or remuneration.
