Dear Schreiner Parents:

Due to the variable and unpredictable financial climate in which lending institutions now find themselves, our PWP lender has withdrawn from the program. Unfortunately, we have been unable to find another lender willing to participate in the program. Although we have no control in this matter, we sincerely regret that our Partnership with Parents (PWP) subsidized loan program will no longer be available.

For this year only (2008-09 academic year), Schreiner will provide to parents with new PLUS loans a partnership grant equal to the estimated interest on their loans. After this year, however, the PWP program will be unavailable to new applicants. If you have prior year loans through the PWP program, we are currently still making interest equal payments to the lender on your behalf.

Federal Parent PLUS loans are still available through lending institutions, some of which are listed on our Web site at www.schreiner.edu/financial_aid/loans.html

Scholarship search engines can be located on our Web page at www.schreiner.edu/financial_aid/links.html.

There is also additional information about PLUS loans on the Web at http://www.finaid.org/loans/parentloan.phtml.

Sincerely,

The Office of Financial Aid
Schreiner University
