The Federal Department of Education sets the basic terms for the Federal Stafford Loan Program. All participating lenders must abide by these regulations. However, lenders may choose to offer additional benefits to students who use their services.

This comparison chart allows you to see the “front end” benefits as well as the “back end” benefits provided by each lender. You will want to consider the benefits as they best suit your financial situation.
