What is SafeStart
Why you need SafeStart

Millions of students each borrow thousands of dollars every year to finance a college education and the typical borrower entering a 4-year college program this year will leave school with more than $25,000 in loan debt. Unfortunately, more than 1 out of every 3 borrowers will fall behind on their student loan payments.



Missing payments can have serious repercussions. The total amount of student loans that you must pay back can grow substantially, which could also translate into much larger monthly payments. If you miss too many payments your credit rating could be seriously damaged, which could affect your ability to finance the purchase of a car or a home in the future. Defaulting on a federal student loan also makes you ineligible to obtain federal student loans later, for example, should you decide to go to graduate school. The list of consequences is, in fact, much more extensive.




Financial Literacy & Debt Counseling – SafeStart gives you the financial training and tools to help manage your debt responsibly while you're in school, as well as personalized advice on navigating your loan repayment options after you leave school.
Loan Repayment Protection – SafeStart provides you with a no-interest line of credit for up to 36 months to cover your student loan payments in the event you experience financial hardship after graduation.

SafeStart helps you minimize the total cost of your student loans. But that isn’t SafeStart’s only benefit:

Gives you greater freedom to pursue the career of your choice.
Can save you thousands of dollars compared to existing federal hardship repayment options.
Raises your financial literacy, both while you’re in school and after you graduate.
Protects your credit rating.
