The importance of financial aid
As a student, you're likely aware of how expensive college can be. Rising tuition, in addition to expensive room and board and the significant expense of books, can make paying for college feel impossible.
The skyrocketing costs of college have forced millions of students to turn to loans to finance their degrees. The growing debt crisis has swept up more than 45 million borrowers in the US who owe over $1.7 trillion in student debt.
