DeVry Inc. (NYSE:DV), a global provider of educational services, provided today an update on its selection of recommended financial services providers for DeVry University, Ross University and Chamberlain College of Nursing.
Following a thorough review of more than 25 responses to a request for proposal issued last summer, DeVry has selected Bank of America, Chase Education Finance, Citibank, Sallie Mae, Wachovia and Wells Fargo as recommended financial services providers. These institutions were chosen based on their wide range of products, the affordability of their student loans and their high level of reliability and customer service in delivering loans to students and families.
“We are pleased to significantly expand the funding options for our students, and we fully expect them to have continued access to a wide range of financing options,” said Daniel Hamburger, president and chief executive officer of DeVry Inc. “We are confident that these lenders not only provide superior products and services for our students, but also have the capacity to withstand the current credit and liquidity issues that are affecting some student loan providers.”
“We are pleased to work with DeVry to offer students an array of funding options and services to help them pay for college,” said C.E. Andrews, president of Sallie Mae. “A higher education is the investment of a lifetime, and DeVry’s focus on student outcomes and success helps students earn a return on that investment through increased employability and salary potential.”
DeVry has not seen any material impact on enrollment and expects its students to continue to have access to the funding they need to finance their education.
