The Maine Educational Loan Authority (MELA) was established in 1988 to assist students and their families to achieve their higher education goals by providing a supplemental or alternative student loan program. With education costs rising at rates higher than many people can afford, MELA's goal is to help students bridge the gap between the full cost of a college education and traditional sources of financial aid.

The Maine Loan^® offers many attractive features, including a low, variable interest rate of 8.43%. This is a favorable rate, given the current interest rate environment, which is great news for students and their families.
