Considering online college programs or distance learning? This typically untapped source of students is growing exponentially. Chela finances student loans for Distance Education Resource, one of their student loan partners.

Federal loans offered include the guaranteed Stafford Loan, and the Parent and Graduate/Professional PLUS Loans. Since partnering with Nelnet, Chela features a Chela/Nelnet Consolidation Loan suitable for combining multiple student loans into a more affordable, single monthly payment.

Student consolidation loans have become very popular. It is not uncommon for graduates to carry many thousands of dollars in college debt. Unless they are lucky enough to have landed a very good job right out of college then they will be likely candidates for a student loan consolidation.

The program offers appealing incentives for medical students, as well as zero interest Stafford loans.
