Prior to joining College Coach, I was a financial aid officer at the College of the Holy Cross and an education advisor at two TRIO program locations. I work with the Massachusetts Education Finance Authority (MEFA) to present paying for college workshops to hundreds of families across the state. I'm a graduate of UMass Amherst and have a master in counseling from Northeastern University.
Before borrowing to cover a tuition bill, families should check whether the college offers a payment plan. These interest-free options let families spread costs over time, potentially reducing education debt. Some schools even offer discounts for full-year plans, making them a smart alternative to student or parent loans.
