We don’t yet have a final agreement on international student loan programs, but we've made good progress since January.  Though we may eventually end up with more than one program, we are currently in the final stages of discussions with a new lender and expect to announce this program in about a week.  Once finalized, this program will allow us to start disbursing loans in time for the arrival of new Lauder students.  We are encouraged by the terms of the loan program currently under discussion and believe that we will have a good option to offer to students who are not US citizens or permanent residents.

We also expect to have more information in a couple of weeks about updated programs for US citizens/permanent residents (and those with US/PR co-signors) for the next academic year.

With best wishes for a restful and enjoyable Spring Break,
