Collection Procedures and Statement of Purpose
Lee University is genuinely concerned that the students of this institution have accessible to them an appropriate short-term loan program. Through gifts from empathetic contributors, Lee University has established a program for identifiable cash emergencies.

This is the Winters Foundation Loan Program. By definition of a loan as "something lent for a borrower's temporary use," it is a requirement of Lee University to establish active procedures insuring the repayment of temporarily lent funds. As good stewards, efficiency and due diligence is essential to quality institutional programs. The loan program will utilize the Due Diligence Program of Collections as outlined by the National Association of Secondary School Financial Aid Administrators and the National Association of College and University Business Officers. The program established by the Financial Aid Office is a prototype of the National Direct Student Loan Collection System. The collection procedure will be administered systematically, uniformly and with empathy and compassion. Individual cases that warrant extraordinary actions of deference will be reviewed with Christian care.

Winters Foundation Revolving Fund Program
Due to an initial contribution of funds from Dan and Mary Nell Winters, Lee University has established a Winters Foundation Revolving Fund Program. Any enrolled student, with bona fide need may apply for a short term 90-day loan. A graduated service charge of $5.00 for $100.00, $10.00 for $200.00, and $12.50 for $250.00 is applied.

These funds are secured through a non-institutional co-maker signature. This emergency funding is intended to assist Lee University students through temporary emergencies. The donor has submitted these funds in honor of his family and in honor of Lee University campus.
