Student Loan Information
The student loan process seems simple - apply, receive, graduate, deferment, employment, and repayment. Sometimes it is that simple. But sometimes there are complications in the process and it can get confusing. Don't get frustrated and give up!
One great resource is the studentaid.ed.gov website. You may have used this resource in obtaining your loans and now it can help in managing your loans. Also Nerdwallet.com and Studentloanhero.com are two websites that we find helpful and informative.
If you need help with your student loans or want to explore the best payment and forgiveness options Stark Financial offers student loan counseling. A certified student loan counselor can work with you to develop an overall plan tailored to your specific situation. Learn more by visiting our Student Loan Counseling page.
