Course Description

Federal loans, private loans, subsidized loans, unsubsidized loans, income based repayment, income contingent repayment, consolidation, deferment, forbearance, forgiveness. Confused yet? These are the terms you need to know as you help your clients navigate the education planning process both before their children go off to college and after graduation. With total student loan debt approaching the $1.5 trillion mark, 6-year graduation rates stagnating at 59%, and higher education degrees becoming the minimum requirement for gainful employment in the country, advisors need to know how to guide and educate their clients to effectively and efficiently plan for college when time is on their side and resources are available, and more importantly, when they are not.

Learning Objectives

  • Differentiate between various financing options available for higher education and what the pros and cons of each are.

  • Determine the most appropriate student loan repayment plan for your clients.

  • Analyze tax savings vs loan savings in complicated student loan advising scenarios.
