Graduate Leverage announces new transitional loan programs for professional graduate students

WALTHAM, MASS. – March 18, 2009 – Graduate Leverage LLC. (GL), a leading provider of student loans, announces the launch of new transitional loan programs for students graduating from professional degree programs. These new programs help health profession and law students manage expenses associated with embarking on residency programs or preparing for state bar exams.

"Our organization has always supported the graduate and professional student communities and I am pleased we are in a position to provide needed products to these groups," said Dan Thibeault, president and co-founder of Graduate Leverage.

Graduate Leverage's announcement of these new products is unique, as there has been a contraction in the number of lenders for private education loans including those for professional school graduates. All loans will be originated and serviced by Graduate Leverage.

"We continue to innovate and demonstrate our deep commitment to education finance. With our own origination and servicing centers, and reliable access to funding, we are among a very small number of vertically integrated student loan lenders with a full suite of products and services," said Thibeault.
