Whether rational or not, the biggest fear stopping students from enrolling is the fear of student loan debt. While mainstream perspectives and media representations are wildly off base, that incorrect information is what many families bring to the college search process. So what can we do about it?
We took a different approach to guests this week - finding folks who can share unique perspectives that we can all consider immediately.
Mark Salisbury, Co-Founder, and CEO of Tuition Fit in Davenport, Iowa, unpacks the fears students have and how we can collectively shed some light and perspective on what their experience is likely to be.
Matt Osborne, Senior Vice President of Client Service and Sales at Ardeo Education Solutions in Bloomington, Indiana, shares his experience as a Vice President for Enrollment and how creative solutions may be what is needed.
Collectively, we can all benefit from spending more time thinking about student loan fears, and this week is our contribution to that dialogue.
