WHAT THEY WANT

(Summarized from the RFP)

The California State University, through its Office of the Chancellor, Contract Services and Procurement, is issuing a Request for Information to learn about alternative (private) education loan lenders that offer competitive, transparent and student-centered financing. The effort supports the university system's commitment to educational access, affordability, social responsibility and ethical financial practices for a diverse student population. The RFI is issued solely to gather information. It is not a solicitation, offer or commitment to form a partnership, and the university reserves the right to make no selections or take no further action.
