Number three was Discover Student Loans, which because they offer the benefits of no application, origination, or late fees, as well as fast acceptance rates and 24/7 customer service assistance. All of these student loans are private student loans, and they are available to prospective students and their families who wish to send their children to college without borrowing from Federal programs.
