4a	(Code: ) (Expenses $ 2,185,990 including grants of $ 0 ) (Revenue $ 4,025,657 )
	Midwestern University Foundation provided funding for federally guaranteed loans for students of the University under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program. This program ended in 2010. In 2014, the Foundation created a new private loan program called the Midwestern University Private Loan Program (MPL Program) funded through the combination of equity and tax-exempt debt. The MPL program functions like the FFEL Program loans in some respects and like other private loan programs in other respects. Unlike loans made under the FFEL Program, loans made under the MPL Program are made by the Foundation directly to students and are not guaranteed by the federal government. Since the inception of the MPL Program, there have been loans awarded in the amount of $132,800,000 as of June 30, 2025. Foundation Bonds issued to fund the MPL Program are limited obligations of the Foundation, secured by and payable solely and exclusively from the student loans and related revenues and other assets comprising the trust estates created by the Trust Indentures pursuant to which those Foundation Bonds have been issued. The trust indentures for the Foundation Bonds contain numerous restrictions and requirements applicable to the MPL Program and the assets comprising the trust estates.
