2008-2009 UCLA's Electronic Graduate PLUS Lenders
In order to facilitate the application process for our borrowers and to allow for electronic disbursement of funds, UCLA has set up an electronic process with various partners listed below. Listing of the lenders on the eFAN and our electronic lender list is not a guarantee of their benefits or an endorsement of their services.
You do not have to borrow from one of the electronic lenders listed. If you prefer to borrow from a lender with which we do not work with electronically, please contact them directly to complete your loan application. If you are interested in reviewing a list of non-electronic lenders selected by UCLA borrowers in the past, please click here. Please note that we will not be able to disburse funds electronically for lenders that do not participate in UCLA’s electronic process.
We recommend that you read the Graduate PLUS Guide for additional information about PLUS Loan application process, loan terms and conditions.

In addition to fee and benefits information for each of the lenders listed, you will also find information on:
- Who will originate your loan – the originator processes your application, collects your promissory note and disburses your loan funds on behalf of the lender. This is who you will contact if you have any questions about your loan application or disbursement.
- Who will guarantee your loan – the guarantor provides the lenders with federal guarantee services for the loan you borrow. If your loan becomes delinquent, the guarantor will work with you and the lender to bring the loan back to current status. Should your loan go into default, the guarantor will assume your loan and begin collection activities.
- Who will service your loan – the servicer will manage your loan during repayment by providing you with periodic disclosure statements and billing statements once your loan enters repayment. This is who you will contact if you have any questions about your loan balances owed, start of repayment, deferment and forbearance information, and payment information.
