Student Lending Options
Oklahoma Christian University regularly uses a select group of lenders for expedient disbursements of student and parent loans. Lender lists are very common among higher education institutions. Such lists provide a convenient way for institutions to help students navigate their way through a large number of student loan options.
Reasons for selecting a particular lender vary from person to person. Some choose a lender based on name recognition. Othes prefer the immediate benefit of lower origination fees. For some the deciding factor is the long-term advantage of repayment savings programs, like an interest rate reduction as a reward for making payments on time.
To assist families in this decision, the Office of Student Financial Services at Oklahoma Christian University has compiled a list of institutions whom we consider excellent in the education lending field. We have found each of these lenders to provide prompt reconciliation of loan issues. They also provide fast electronic payment of loan funds directly to your OC account, and offer a variety of savings programs during loan repayment.
Please note that you are not required to use one of these lenders. The Office of Student Financial Services will process your loan with any lender you choose.
The first type of student loans a student should accept are federal Perkins and Stafford loans. If you have accepted a Perkins and/or Stafford loan on your Oklahoma Christian award letter, please use the following links to complete your loan entrance interview (LEI) and/or your master promissory note (MPN).
If your parent would like to apply for a parent loan (PLUS), the following link may be used to direct them to one of OC's preferred lenders. Once your parent has completed the application for a parent loan, the Oklahoma Christian Student Financial Services Office will receive notification of the loan's approval or denial.
Some students may need additional loans to help cover the cost of their education. Alternative student loans should only be used after a student has accepted all eligible Perkins and/or Stafford loans. Alternative student loans are not guaranteed by the federal government and will almost always have a higher interest rate.
The following link will allow you to compare the benefits of our preferred lenders and apply for an alternative student loan.
