Frequently Asked Questions
What should students know before borrowing student loans?
Understand: difference between federal and private loans, total borrowing limits, repayment options, how interest compounds, post-college budget impact (is $200/month payment doable?), and forgiveness program eligibility. Borrow only what's necessary.
How do I help low-income students afford college?
Maximize: FAFSA completion, grants (free money), college scholarships, outside scholarships, work-study, and family contribution conversation. Reduce loans and explore whether part-time enrollment with work helps. Some students benefit from gap year to save.
What's a reasonable amount for students to borrow?
General guideline: cumulative borrowing should not exceed expected starting salary. For example, $50k debt is reasonable if starting salary is $60k, but not if it's $30k. Monthly payment should be <10% of projected gross income.
How do I help students compare colleges by true cost?
Focus on net cost (full cost minus grants), not sticker price. Compare: actual financial aid packages (not aid formulas), whether merit aid is renewable, availability of work-study, and long-term implications. Often cheaper to attend more expensive college with better aid.
What financial aid support should I provide after graduation?
Exit counseling on loan repayment before graduation, help understanding repayment plan options, connection to loan servicers, and awareness of forgiveness programs. Consider creating alumni guides for managing loans and building wealth.
