Lender Manifest Reporting Requirements for Lenders

The National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) requires that guarantors report their loan data each month. This data is maintained in a database, which schools use to certify new loan eligibility. For Trellis Company to report accurate information to NSLDS, data must be collected from Trellis Company’s lender partners each month. The reporting process/vehicle for this information is the NSLDS Lender Manifest. While the Lender Manifest file is an industry standard, guarantors may have different requirements for some of the data included in the manifest. You may request a copy of Trellis Company’s Lender Manifest reporting instructions by emailing good.data@trelliscompany.org. The standard file format, data requirements, edits, and values are included in these instructions.
