The deposit is in, and you and your student have made the best decision possible about what school to attend in the fall, given the pandemic. So, now that you've had some time to think about it...are you having cold feet?

Student Loan Basics
This is the time of year when you're deciding whether or not to go the student loan route, and we applaud you for planning ahead.
But, if you don't understand the process, going down that route will just lead to frustration and dead ends.
Join us TONIGHT at 8:30pm EST when we discuss the ABCs (and then some) of Student Loans with Angela Colatriano of College Ave Student Loans.
This will be a great opportunity for those who have some knowledge of the system to refresh and for the newbies out there who are just now dipping their toes in the pool.
