Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 6, 2006, Collegiate Funding Services Resources III, LLC ("CFSR II"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Collegiate Funding Services, Inc. entered into a one-year, $250.0 million conduit warehouse financing facility to fund the purchase of private education loans. The conduit lender that will provide financing to CFSR III under the facility is administered by Bank of America, N.A. as funding agent and administrative agent.

The private loan warehouse facility will be used to fund private loan purchases prior to securitization of the portfolio. The facility is secured by a portfolio of private loans financed under the facility. The interest rate on funds advanced by the conduit lenders is calculated based on the commercial paper rate plus a markup. The warehouse facility contains affirmative and negative covenants, reporting requirements and covenants relating to loan servicing. Loan-level insurance on the private loan portfolio is required. An event of termination under the private conduit facility will occur if, among other things, the credit characteristics or the performance of the private loan portfolio decline.





Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 6, 2006, Collegiate Funding Services II, LLC ("CFSR II"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Collegiate Funding Services, Inc. ("CFSI"), Citicorp North America, Inc. and the conduit lenders party thereto, agreed to terminate the one-year, $180.0 million conduit warehouse financing facility that CFSR II was using to fund the purchase of private education loans. A copy of the agreement was filed on November 7, 2005 as Exhibit 4.8 to CFSI’s registration statement on Form 10-Q, as amended (SEC File No. 000-50846).
