Campus Door website now offers college search, scholarship search, and entrance test preparation powered Peterson's.

Carlisle, PA, 17 September 2001 – Campus Door, leading provider of private student loans online, today announced the expansion of its CampusDoor.com site to incorporate tools and databases powered by Peterson's, the Internet's most highly used education resource.

From Campusdoor.com, parents and students can use Peterson's searchable databases and interactive tools to find the college, university, or graduate program that suits their geographic, financial, and career goals. They can also look for scholarships and grants, take practice college entrance exams, and apply for private loans that can cover up to 100 percent of the cost of education.

Said Campus Door President Damien Q. Elias, "Now students and their parents can open a single door to multiple resources — including school search and selection, scholarship search, and entrance test preparation — and still get Campus Door's unmatched education loan services."

Using CampusDoor.com's rich content on higher education, parents and students can:
·    Search among more than 3,600 market-leading profiles of every undergraduate institution accredited in the United States. Using Peterson's College and Universities channel, site visitors can find a college by location, major, enrollment size, tuition, sports, and more.
·    Search Peterson's Grad Channel to investigate comprehensive graduate education resources, including a database of over 36,000 graduate programs. Visitors can search for graduate program information by keyword, program type, or institution name.
·    Search a database of more than 850,000 college scholarships, awards, grants, and prizes worth more than $2 billion — from sources including private agencies, foundations, corporations, clubs, fraternal and service organizations, civic associations, unions, and religious groups.
·    Prepare for college entrance examinations using free test-preparation software downloaded from the site. Based on results of a SAT, ACT, or MCAT practice test, the student gets a customized study plan that allows them to target the area that needs work.
·    Apply for private educational loans to cover the cost of education. Because the loans can be deferred while the student is enrolled at least half-time and for twelve months after graduation, they provide cash flow flexibility not found in many loan products. In addition, because Campus Door loans are not governmental programs and are not need-based, they are open to many families that do not qualify for traditional student loans.
·    Investigate the site's other resources on financial aid, loans, college planning and money management — from a calculator that helps students compare available personal financial resources with the costs of attending school, to tips from financial aid experts.
