OGSLP Offers SimpleTuition Loan Comparison Tool for Schools and Families

As noted in our recent SimpleTuition partnership announcement, OGSLP staff are hard at work to provide schools with new lender list tools to simplify the lender selection process for Oklahoma families.

Oklahoma schools will soon have two new lender list options for students and parents: schools can direct students to a master OGSLP lender list, or opt to request a customized lender list.  Both options allow students and families to compare education loans and loan providers.

Founded in 2005, SimpleTuition allows users to compare, analyze and apply for student loans.  Search results can be sorted by a variety of factors, like monthly payment, total loan cost, number of payments, date of first payment or annual percentage rate, allowing users to compare loan options based on the criteria that are most important to them.  This robust comparative functionality will be available in both the master OGSLP lender list and customized school lender lists. 

Our School/Lender Support Services representatives will be working directly with you to build and implement these tools.  Please contact them with any questions. 

Additionally, OGSLP is offering several Webinars to help our school and lender customers learn more about this important resource:
