School as Lender Program
As of October 1, 2007, the Adelphi School as Lender (SAL) Program in partnership with Citibank is being discontinued and new borrowers will no longer be able to sign a School as Lender Master Promissory Note.
If you already have a School as Lender loan for the 2007/2008 academic year you will continue to receive the same SAL borrower benefits. Loans through the School as Lender Program will be purchased by Citibank after your loan(s) are fully disbursed. Your borrower benefits will remain unchanged as a result of this loan transfer.
Graduate Plus Loan: As of July 1, 2006 eligibility for PLUS loans was extended to graduate and professional students. The new loan program may be a low-cost, fixed rate alternative to private and alternative loans which graduate students have used previously to finance their graduate education.
Students must file the FAFSA and meet all other federal eligibility criteria including federal verification requirements. Students have the ability to borrow up to the cost of attendance less other financial aid and a fixed interest rate of 8.5 percent.
