Your education is the smartest investment you will make!
There is no question that obtaining a degree is an investment in your future. Borrowing is one way to make that investment possible. Of course, only you and your family can decide how much is a reasonable amount to borrow. But with careful planning, a loan can be a smart decision and the U.S. Department of Education offers a variety of loans to help secure your degree.
Most educational loans offer more favorable terms than other consumer loans. However, since all loans must be repaid, we encourage you to borrow no more than necessary, explore other options for financial aid, and earn as much as possible through employment.
