However, if you wish to use another lender that is not on this list, you have the right to do so. Please inform us of all pertinent information if you choose another lender.

We recommend the following lenders to Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts' students and families. You will need to create an ID and password on the LOAN Application website. Our Code number is 030794.
