What Can Students Do To Protect Themselves?
This post is part of a series for National Consumer Protection Week
Americans owe more than a trillion dollars in student loan debt. That’s more than we owe on credit cards, more than we owe on car loans – and it’s still growing.
So, if you’re going to invest in a college degree, we want you to be able to choose the best deal for your situation. Students are overwhelmed with options and aren’t sure how to compare them. In the absence of apples-to-apples comparisons, they’re left to their own devices when making a choice that will have significant consequences for their financial future.
Here is the suite of tools we’ve developed to help you along the way:
Paying for College
From start to finish, we can help you make informed financial decisions about paying for college.
