Purdue West-Lafayette Preferred Lender Selection Process

To advocate for Purdue student loan borrowers, Purdue conducted a Request for Proposal [“RFP”] process in 2004 to choose a preferred FFELP loan service provider and a preferred private credit alternative loan provider. A campus wide committee of administrators led by our Purchasing area conducted this RFP process on behalf of Purdue borrowers. Our agreed upon selection criteria included a holistic review of proposals and loan servicer history with a goal of obtaining the best student borrower benefits and school/administration benefits (technical expertise, default management expertise, etc.).

Through this competitive bidding process, Sallie Mae emerged as the FFELP and alternative loan service partner of choice for a variety of reasons, including a long standing track-record in the student loan business. Sallie Mae and Purdue Employees Federal Credit Union (PEFCU), an Indiana-based non-profit lender (not affiliated with Purdue University), partnered on an attractive FFELP borrower benefit package with a commitment to life-of-loan servicing. Sallie Mae also offered special pricing on alternative loan products ("Signature Loans") and student borrower access to a private alternative loan program "of last resort" ("Opportunity Loans") for students without established credit or a creditworthy co-borrower, or for international students without a creditworthy U.S. citizen co-borrower. Sallie Mae also offered a commitment to review borrower benefit programs on an annual basis.
