Expert Insights on Student Lending Industry

Student Loans provide financing to students or their parents for the purpose of higher education, and may be government subsidized if the student’s financial need dictates. The U.S. Department of Education guarantees both subsidized and unsubsidized student loans directly or through guarantee agencies. Private loans made to students by banks or finance companies are not guaranteed by a government agency .

Gerson Lehrman Group Council Members are available to discuss Student Lending Industry via phone consultations, live meetings, surveys, and other custom GLG products and services.
