The Willamette University Financial Aid Office will certify the loan when asked by the lender to do so. Loan funds will be disbursed to Willamette University and applied toward the tuition charges on the student’s Willamette billing.
The Willamette University Financial Aid Office is can answer questions about the process of applying for private loans. However, they are not allowed to recommend a lender. If you have questions, call 503-370-6273 or email gradaid@willamette.edu.
