NextStudent Helps College Students
Formulate College Funding Strategy
Date :
By Rasid
By now, college students
across the country have had ample opportunity to enjoy their summer
vacation, and their break from school soon will be drawing to a close.
Now is the ideal time to consider more serious matters like how students
will plan for their next year of education, according to NextStudent, a
leading Phoenix-based education funding company.
Alternately, for many high school seniors, perhaps the joy of being
accepted at their college of choice has faded, only to be replaced by
confusion on how best to proceed with funding for their first year of
school. It is time for students to dig out the award letters they may
have received months ago and begin preparing to finance their fall
semester.
Personalized Attention Helps Solidify Plan
Since college award letters often are a little confusing and sometimes
can be a challenge to understand and interpret correctly, NextStudent
takes pride in helping students and their parents clarify and understand
their financial picture so they can formulate the best funding strategy
to finance their college education.
When contacting NextStudent, students are assigned their own personal
Education Finance Advisor who will walk them through the college funding
process from start to finish in a simple, straightforward manner. This
personalized attention helps take the guesswork out of college financial
aid and frequently results in peace of mind for many students and their
parents once they have a better grasp of their financial picture,
options, and best way to proceed.
Accurate Understanding Clarifies Best Options
Students and their parents can rest easy knowing that they are in good
hands when working with NextStudent. Since many do not know where to
turn or how best to proceed, students may be educated with respect to
the actual cost of attending their college; the need-based aid for which
they qualify such as subsidized Stafford Loans and federal
non-need-based student loans; and the possible out-of-pocket funds
needed to attend college.
A common mistake occurs when students and their parents believe that
they do not qualify for any federal student aid. In many cases, it is
not that students do not qualify for ANY federal aid at all, but rather
that they do not qualify for SUBSIDIZED federal aid such as a subsidized
Stafford Loan. Instead, they may qualify for an UNSUBSIDIZED Federal
Stafford Loan. This is the type of scenario that a NextStudent Education
Finance Advisor is equipped to handle. A personal Education Finance
Advisor will answer any questions students have, advise them on the best
options to pursue, and assist them in formulating the strategy that best
suits their needs.
Different Awards, Different Needs
Other common types of financial aid include Parent Loans for
Undergraduate Students (PLUS Loans) and Private Student Loans.
Regardless of what type of federal aid for which a student qualifies and
regardless of the perceived financial challenge, chances are NextStudent
can help.
Since the fall semester is just around the corner, students who wish to
get a jump on putting together their funding package for school may want
to contact NextStudent at their first opportunity.
NextStudent believes that getting an
education is the best investment you can make, and it is dedicated to
helping you pursue your education dreams by making college funding
simple. Learn more about Student Loans at http://www.nextstudent.com/.
