  Although Pratt Institute does not and will not choose a specific lender for you, we feel it is important to help guide borrowers in their search for educational financing. This list is a starting point for students and parents to compare the available benefits offered by various lenders. There is no obligation for students or parents to use a lender from the suggested list. Pratt Institute will process a student/parent loan from any lender that the student or parent chooses.
