If (and this could be a big if) I am not mistaken you can get a Keystone Best Stafford through AES but you still have to select a lender, AES does not,(is not) the actual lender. Here’s something they use to describe themselves on the AES website: “PHEAA’s public service mission is powered by AES, our national commercial business enterprise.”
My daughter’s school, Eastern University, has a list of suggested lenders but sifting through them is nerve racking, especially since I have read it is recomended that you use the same lender for any additional loans you may need to finish financing their education. This means trying to look at options they offer not just for the Staffords but the Parent Plus and Alternative Loans also. That’s why I was hoping someone out there had been down this road and had some tips to share.
