SAN DIEGO, CA, September 30, 2011 – Education Loan Source, Inc. (ELS), an innovative leader in education financing solutions, is proud to announce the launch of the TuitionFlexPLUS^℠ financing program at The Institute of Culinary Education (ICE), one of the nation’s top centers for culinary education. The TuitionFlexPLUS program will bridge the financial aid gap for hundreds of talented and eager students previously unable to enroll because of inadequate financial aid support.

"ELS is a trailblazer in the student loan industry," commented Matt Peterson, Chief Finance Officer at ICE. "We wanted to offer a loan option that was flexible and realistically fit into a student’s budget, and ELS provided exactly that. We don’t want our students burdened with unnecessary debt after graduation; we simply want them to be able to focus on getting a great education without the pressure of financial anxiety. TuitionFlex offers a solution that virtually guarantees all of our students have access to competitive financial aid, regardless of their personal financial situation."

Pat Cook, Vice President of Sales at ELS, further explained that, "ELS aims to offer alternatives to traditional student lending practices. Gone are the days of ten-year loan terms on small principal amounts and automatic in-school deferments that ultimately increase balances." ELS offers terms as short as 12 months for qualifying balances and students are encouraged to select affordable in-school payment plans so that capitalized interest doesn’t become problematic later.

And the TuitionFlexPLUS offers a unique opportunity for schools as well. Larry Chivaro, Executive Vice President of First Associates Loan Servicing, LLC, the organization that services the loans, commented, "Students simply make payments to us but it is the school, in fact, that owns these loans. The school always has the option to work with an investor to determine credit criteria and loan parameters so that the investor can later purchase the debts." First Associates is well-known in the student loan industry for its track record of single digit defaults on its education loan portfolio.

While other companies might provide partial support, ELS offers total support to the school from loan application through servicing. The TuitionFlexPLUS program offers a branded online application process, electronic signature, customizable reporting, automated payment processing, and flexible servicing repayment terms. ELS’ program is of particular assistance to schools concerned with 90/10 compliance.

San Diego, California – May 31, 2011 – Education Loan Source, Inc. (ELS), the nation’s leader in education financing administration and services, is proud to announce the expansion of their partnership with San Francisco School of Massage (SFSM). SFSM originally launched the TuitionFlexSM program in March, 2010 and the school is now expanding the program to include a choice of longer payment plan terms.

TuitionFlexSM^℠ provides students with the option to extend tuition payments over a specified period of time instead of paying cash up-front for an academic program. "With new state regulations slated to take effect at the end of this year, increasing the number of required course hours in the fields of massage and bodywork, SFSM wants to be in position to assist students with affordability," said Gary Witt, Chief Executive Officer of SFSM. "Expanding the TuitionFlex program furthers SFSM's commitment to make education accessible to students who are already managing a variety of personal and professional responsibilities."

As program administrator, ELS offers comprehensive support for the program and, as a result, the program requires very little involvement from school officials. From the point of online application all the way through servicing, ELS provides a seamless flow for both students and school. ELS programs are in compliance with federal and state Truth-in-Lending disclosures and are of particular assistance to schools looking to meet 90/10 regulations.

"We are excited about expanding our partnership with ELS," said Rocky Hall, Director of Operations. "We appreciate the expertise that ELS has earned in the educational finance arena and have benefited by their commitment to enhance TuitionFlex and bring innovation to the space."

"Given the dynamic nature of the higher education industry, it is a pleasure to deliver financing solutions that can be easily tailored as requirements change," said Jacklyn Garcia-Schneider, Director, Client Services for ELS. "Knowing that the expanded program will enable more students to get their education at SFSM - one of the most respected massage and bodywork schools in the nation - is especially rewarding."

San Diego, California – May 24, 2011 – Education Loan Source, Inc. (ELS), the nation’s leader in education financing administration and services, is proud to announce the launch of the TuitionFlexPLUS^℠ financing program at International Education Corporation (IEC) campuses nationwide.

"TuitionFlexPLUS is a win-win for both students and school," explains Ena Hull, Vice President of Financial Planning. "Students have the ability to make affordable monthly payments, while the school yields the benefits of an innovative note selling program that generates a more immediate cash flow. Through TuitionFlexPLUS, we now strike the perfect balance between offering an affordable plan to students while realizing improved cash flow for the school."

"IEC is excited to launch a finance program that offers an online application process, high touch servicing and ultimately, a high collectability track record. These were all key factors in our decision to select ELS," Ena continued. "As an additional benefit, the program will help with our 90/10 compliance." As program administrator, ELS ensures that participating schools remain in compliance with federal and state Truth-in-Lending disclosure requirements. In addition, each program is customized to follow a school’s preferred internal process.

Payment plans allow a student the option to make payments over a specified term rather than paying cash up front for an academic program. Traditional payment plans require the school to hold the note on their books, while receiving funds as the student makes payments. The challenge with these plans is balancing the need to keep costs low for student enrollment with the need to infuse operating capital into the school. With TuitionFlexPLUS, schools establish unique rates and terms and can elect to implement a credit check to mitigate risk. As an additional option, they can sell a portion of their portfolio.

According to Dennis Christich, VP Sales for ELS, "TuitionFlexPLUS allows IEC to focus on helping students become successful within the allied health, business, technology and automotive industries, while ELS supports both students and school staff with financing. The drive to excel is evident in all that IEC does and launching this financing option for students is yet another sign of that commitment being put into action."
