Financial Literacy Resources

Successfully managing default rates requires providing financial literacy resources.

Sadly, with students today, the data shows that we must assume the majority are financially illiterate. For those that are high-school students, it is not surprising that students now entering college or a vocational training program:

  1. 1
    Will require some assistance with student loans to complete their education
  2. 2
    Did not receive adequate financial literacy education at home or in high school
  3. 3
    Cannot comprehend the impact student loan repayments will have on their post-education budget
  4. 4
    Do not understand how compound interest inflates their loan balances
  5. 5
    Have difficulty choosing a repayment plan that fits their long-term situation and minimizes the amount owed
