Seventy percent of students who graduate from public and nonprofit colleges have student loan debt. In the state of Kansas, the average student loan debt is $25,521 for a 4-year college. Many students are unaware of how much debt they are acquiring during college. KNOW YOUR STUDENT LOAN DEBT and have a plan to repay the debt.
If you are starting college apply for scholarships at the University or Community College you plan to attend. You can also build your scholarship profile on www.fastweb.com to apply for scholarships that relate to you specifically.
