Company Profile
Graduate Leverage
Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
In 2003, a group of Harvard Business School classmates launched Graduate Leverage (GL), a student run grassroots organization with the goal of helping fellow students manage the challenges of student loan debt. The consultative approach proved extremely beneficial to borrowers as thousands of graduate students around the country began to signup for Graduate Leverage's free information service.
Recognizing an opportunity to help students further lower the cost of their student debt through the use of collective bargaining, Graduate Leverage initiated a platform allowing it to function as an intermediary on behalf of students to secure better terms and rates from lenders.
Graduate Leverage's innovative marketing strategies have led to the origination of more than $2 billion in student loans, making it the fastest growing student loan company in the nation.
