Compensation

FundingGap Finder is an independent education and matching tool. We may receive compensation from participating lenders when you click through their listing or complete an application. That compensation supports the site and is disclosed here and next to every lender listing.

How lenders are ranked

Every active lender in our database is shown. Ranking uses a fit score based on your self-reported profile:

• Loan-amount coverage (20 pts), can plausibly cover your gap.
• Borrower / cosigner fit (15 pts), matches your cosigner situation and citizenship.
• Program fit (10 pts), supports your program type.

Lenders are grouped by tier (A best → D weak), then by score, then alphabetically. Compensation does not affect ranking.

Not financial or legal advice

FundingGap Finder is not a lender, financial advisor, law firm, tax professional, or school financial-aid office. Nothing here is a guarantee of approval, eligibility, rates, or federal-aid availability. Confirm federal-aid details with your school or StudentAid.gov.

AI-generated content

Maya is an AI-generated funding guide and identifies itself as such. AI responses may be inaccurate; do not rely on them for legal, tax, or eligibility decisions.

TCPA consent

When you check the consent box in the lead form, you agree to be contacted by phone and SMS (including autodialed calls or prerecorded messages). Consent is not a condition of purchase. You can opt out at any time.
