Borrowing
for an education is a valuable investment in every student’s
future. A graduate of a four-year college earns 80% more
income over his or her lifetime than a high school graduate.
The average return on investment for a college degree
is 20 times the cost of the education. Higher education
can make the difference in a student’s life The Loan to
Learn program is custom-designed for one specific purpose—to
help families pay for college. We pioneered the entire
credit-based student loan.
Students and families need most to affordably fund a higher
education. Our informative outreach programs, interactive
web tools and comprehensive financing solutions have helped
over two million students achieve the dream of a college
education.
There are two basic categories of loans available: government
loans and private loans. In general, the government loans
for students (also called Stafford Loans) should be your
first stop. Parents should consider government loans for
parents (also called PLUS Loans). Occasionally, private
loans can be competitive with the government programs.
