Dear Financial Aid Director, Over the years, U.S. Bank has deeply appreciated the student lending relationship we have shared with your school and its students and families. We regret to inform you that U.S. Bank is exiting the private student lending business and will no longer accept applications for student loans after March 29, 2012. Please know that this announcement applies to all schools and is not specific to your institution. Any applications received by U.S. Bank up to and including March 29, 2012 will be processed normally. Loans received by that date that are approved and certified by your institution will be disbursed according to your normal disbursement schedules. As a school partner, we are asking you to do the following: • Remove U.S. Bank from any lender lists published by you either hard copy or electronic versions located on your Web site or through e-mail correspondence. • Do not forward any "requests for information" on our program as it will not be acted upon. • Please continue to certify requests from U.S. Bank as these represent loan requests made on or before the 3/29/2012 date. U.S. Bank will continue to request certifications and send all disbursements through existing channels until all disbursements have been completed. • Direct students with questions about existing student loans or applications in process with U.S. Bank to call our customer service line at 800-242-1200. U.S. Bank continues to be a proud partner with colleges and universities across the country. Through our on-campus branch networks, our program sponsorships and our lending and financing, we look forward to continuing to serve schools, students and families across the country with their banking needs. If you have additional questions, please contact us at 800-242-1200, select option 2 and then 2 on your phone.
