CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 17 PRNewswire — Bank of America, a leading source of educational financing nationwide, today renewed its commitment to providing government-backed student loans while discontinuing its private student loan products.
"Bank of America remains committed to helping parents and students finance a college education through the federal student loan program," said Sandra Dunleavy, head of Bank of America's student loan business. "Now more than ever, parents and students need a trusted source to help them with their financial needs."
