- Assigning a first-time borrower to a particular private education loan lender through the student’s financial aid award or another means.
-
- Packaging a private education loan in a student’s financial aid award, except when the student is ineligible for other financial aid, has exhausted his or her federal student aid eligibility, has not filed a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or refuses to apply for a federal student loan.
