Purpose of loan: 
I am doing research on microfinance and social lending for my PhD.  I will be using these funds to turn around and reinvest as part of my research on the determinants of risk and return for social lending. 

My financial situation:
I recently retired early from the aerospace and defense industry after many years (although I still work part-time as a consultant for my old employer) to go back to school for my PhD.  I already have an MBA, and my eventually plan is to spend my second career (since I'm still reasonably young) as a business school professor once I finish my doctorate.  While I am in school, we are living off my research assistantship stipend (17K), plus the income from four investment properties, my consulting work, and other investments.
