Student Loan Entrance & Exit
Counseling:
Before receiving a student loan and prior to graduating or leaving
college, borrowers are required to complete an entrance or exit
counseling session. This online interactive counseling session
provides useful tips and tools to help you develop a budget for
managing your educational expenses and helps you to understand
your rights and responsibilities as a borrower.
Unfortunately there are people out there who will try to charge
students and their families for information that can be obtained
at no cost. Be sure to periodically check this site for any new scams
happening with scholarships. www.ftc.gov/scholarshipscams .
